This fall, grab your favorite lunch at noon and tune in to virtual conversations with the Prince George’s County Office of Human Rights and the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System on topics from repairing the effects of racial injustice to fighting for equitable access to recovering from exile and loss. Let’s learn together!

Lunch and Learn returns with special guest Dave Zirin in conversation with the Prince George's County Office of Human Rights and the Prince George's County Memorial Library System discussing his book, "The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn."

From The Nation magazine columnist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Zirin, "The People’s Historian" is a deeply researched biography of Howard Zinn, the beloved author of the classic national bestseller with more than four million copies sold, A People’s History of the United States.

"The People’s Historian" shows Zinn’s presence on the great canvases of the 20th century: from the Depression to World War II to the Civil Rights Movement to the war in Vietnam all the way until his death in 2010. With intimately researched stories from Zinn’s life and career, such as the way Atlanta’s small Spelman College, where Zinn taught as a young professor, helped launch the Civil Rights Movement, Zinn’s work traveling to Hanoi to engineer the release of POWs, and his continuing influence in the emerging Democratic Socialist movement, "The People’s Historian" explores Zinn’s past while also demonstrating how his 75 years of political engagement with the social struggles of his time informs our perilous present.

With input from family and access to Zinn’s personal papers, "The People’s Historian" paints a picture of the man behind "A People’s History," examining his work and legacy in the broader context of the United States.
