Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was a renowned American historian, activist, and writer. His most famous work is "A People's History of the United States," which offers a critical examination of American history from the perspective of ordinary Americans, challenging the traditional, elite-centric historical narrative. Zinn's work highlights the crucial role of marginalized groups—Native Americans, African Americans, laborers, and women—in shaping American history. He argued that American history is not a simple story of progress, but rather one filled with violence, oppression, and inequality. His views have sparked extensive debate and controversy in academia, but they have also influenced countless people's understanding of American history. Zinn's writings have had a significant impact not only on the field of history but have also inspired the pursuit of social justice and fueled social movements. He participated in the Civil Rights Movement and the anti-war movement, and consistently advocated for peace and social justice. His ideas have profoundly influenced social movements and historical research in the United States and around the world.
