Howard Zinn, International Advisory Board Member

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Howard Zinn, the first distinguished peace leader to add his name to Envision’s International Advisory Board.  An author, teacher, and political activist, Zinn is best-known for A People’s History of the United States, a brilliant alternative to mainstream history texts.  Zinn’s legacy is far-reaching. He has inspired civil rights organizers and activists, as well as prominent authors and performers including Alice Walker and Bruce Springsteen. Howard Zinn’s status as the first member of Envision’s International Advisory Board sets a high standard.  The Envision Community will miss his wisdom, inspiration, and support.
