SENT BY TEACHING FOR CHANGE ON BEHALF OF THE HOWARD ZINN TRUST
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010). We share new and exciting activities commemorating Howard Zinn's life and work.

The Howard Zinn at 100 campaign shares the various ways organizations, publishers, and individuals are honoring his legacy throughout the year. Let us know if you have any plans to commemorate the centennial.

As part of the commemoration, we are proud to announce several new features to the HowardZinn.org website, including the launch of the Howard Zinn Digital Collection, a searchable bibliography of materials by and about Howard Zinn; a photo gallery; and a re-vamped bibliography of Zinn's writings.

We also share news from the Zinn Education Project and Voices of a People's History.
