I used to work at Speak Out! An agency for activists and artists. One of the huge reasons I could really appreciate that work was because of people like Howard Zinn. People who were changing the way we look at education, history, and life! He changed the way I looked at school and the way I saw the world. I'll never ever forget it. I'm glad to still continue to work and live within a strong activist community.
Lets all be thankful we have the knowledge that we can be better, that we can live better and minorities continue to overcome. We still have hope.
