In Memory of Howard Zinn

Sun, 02/21/2010 - 12:45pm

Howard Zinn, the influential historian, activist, playwright and intellectual died on January 27th, just weeks before our winter membership meeting. As he has touched many greens through his writings, actions and speech, we asked local poet Rich Broderick to write a poem in his honor. It was read by the poet at the opening of our winter membership meeting, and some have requested the text of the poem.

For Howard Zinn

To speak
Without eating our words

To march to the foot of the cross
And revive the prematurely dying

To refuse to mistake
Theories for the life of the mind
