From Dowd's FB page:
RIP HOWARD ZINN www.howardzinn.org please check it out
Howard wrote The People's History of the United States and did so much for this country and the progressive movement.
Howie was one of my father Doug Dowd's best friends. They started together in the Civil Rights Movment and anti-Vietnam War Movement and have worked... together since then. Howie wrote on the cover of my father's new book "Inequality and the Global Economic Crisis" which came out last week: :"A penetrating analysis of where we are today. Douglas Dowd is our most reliable economic historian." Howard Zinn
Please read Howard Zinn and Douglas Dowd to help uderstand where we are and where we can go together to create a better world for us and our children.
thanks for all you did and will continue to do Howie!
