Voices of a People’s History: Student Performance

This seventh iteration of the annual Voices of a People’s History series at Lincoln Center brings to life the work of Brooklyn-born author, activist, and academic Howard Zinn on  his centenary. Zinn’s touchstone book, A People’s History of the United States, documents the vital everyday epics of common people engaged in the life and death struggle for justice: abolitionists, activists, protesters, founders of the first American unions, suffragettes who advanced women’s rights, and pioneers of gay liberation. All of these heroic voices will be performed live by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by Voices teaching artists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts.
