R.I.P. Howard Zinn

Howard Zinn died last night of a heart attack at 87 years of age. Zinn was a historian and activist best known for his book A People's History of the United States. This guy is a Hall of Famer when it comes to policing cake. Zinn was scheduled to speak at my school on Saturday, so the real tragedy here belongs to me. JK. In all seriousness, the world is definitely worse off for his departure from it, so the tragedy is all of ours. Below is a clip of Zinn talking about what he wants to be remembered for.
