He was a tireless activist defending civil rights, human rights, and fighting against war, imperialism, and class oppression. Also, a prolific scholar and beloved university professor, and author, most famously, of the celebrated "People's History of the United States." I wish we had a lot more like him, we lost a great one, tonight. Rest in peace.
Here's brief bio for anyone who is unfamiliar;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn
If you haven't read "People's History", do yourself a favor. He has also written several other excellent books.
