@comrade_sinque: Howard Zinn spent 7 years at Spelman College mentoring Alice Walker and Marian Wright Edelman. He let SNCC hold secret meetings in his HOME so his students wouldn’t get expelled. He marched with them. Got arrested with them. And after all that the president sent him a letter while campus was empty. No warning. No meeting. Just: “Your services are no longer needed. Check enclosed.” 17 years later he wrote A People’s History of the United States the book that does to American history exactly what he did to that campus. Tears down the wall and hands the story back to the people they tried to silence. #bookrecs #BookTok #americanhistory #howardzinn #starterpicks
