By Amy Columbo
StuCtont AcftvrPis fa tOf
Howard Zinn. a well-known Amer
it an author and historian, will be on
campus today to host a free seminar
and lecture for students and staff.
"I think [Zinnj is one of the greatest
figures of our time 1 don't think there
is anyone else that best exemplifies the
aspects of tlie unity of activism and
scholarship," said Cheyney Ryan, a phi
losophy professor who worked to bring
Zinn to campus in the fall of 1992.
"The thing about Howard is that he
is both impassioned and also very
entertaining at the same time." Ryan
said.
Zinn is a former political science pro
fessor at Boston University and the author
of A People's History of the United States,
a 1980 history text that sold more than
350,000 copies in its first publication.
"He's pretty radical in the sense that
he writes about history in the non-Euro
pean perspective, which is rare." said
Joey Lyons, program coordinator of the
Multic ultural Center
His newest book, Yon Can't lie Neu
tral On ,d Slaving Train; A Personal
Memoir of Our Tunes, was published
in 19*14 and is an autobiography begin
ning with his youth in the immigrant
slums of Brooklyn.
Ryan said Zinn was a close colleague
and friend of Martin Luther King Jr. und
was the first person to write a book that
opposed the Vietnam War — a 1957
book titled Vietnam; The Logic of With
drawal.
Zinn will host a seminar titled "Eco
nomic Justice in the United States" at
