Voices of a People’s History honors the centenary of historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010), author of the classic bestseller A People’s History of the United States, with a new conversation series hosted by the archivist and memory worker Zakiya Collier. Together, Collier and her guests will draw from Zinn’s example of interrogating key moments of the historical record via documents, images, and recordings to create an illuminating dialogue on what the past can teach contemporary audiences. Author and historian Donna Murch (Assata Taught Me) and researcher, journalist, and artist Chenjerai Kumanyika (cohost of Uncivil podcast) will join Collier to discuss author W. E. B. Du Bois’s seminal 1935 text Black Reconstruction, which radically foregrounded the role of Blacks in forging our democracy. Actor and educator Brian Jones will also read some vital passages of the book.
