[excerpted from a private e-mail, but thought the davis square LJ should hear it as well]

my boyfriend and i went to see howard zinn tonight and it was amazing. very well done- jimmy tingle did the intro and nice repartee between him and howard,
then 4 actors/writers read the first-person accounts of minorities, women,
labor strikers, et cetera from US history that are the meat of the book
that zinn and the editor anthony arnove compiled: _voices from a people's
history of the united states._ then a q & a session including the
audience- very interesting perspectives on how political and social change
really happens, why it keeps happening, what we might be looking forward to
tomorrow and onward.

and howard is actually quite witty. and so nicely succinct and honest.

anyway, i'm writing not just to rave about a great and inspiring night (i
bought a book, got it signed, and talked to the editor about making
connections with progressive educators- wow), but because the night sold
out so fast they are offering the whole thing again NEXT Monday, November
8th, again at 7 PM, and again at Jimmy Tingle's. It's only $10, and as
historical and political education go is well worth the bucks.

sorry for the [partisan] public service announcement. vote tomorrow. go
good guys.
