Such a great quote- one of my favorte Zinn quotes.

A lot of people find fault with A People's History because it's an incomplete history...but it's not meant to substitute for a traditional American history education, it's meant to augment one (which is equally incomplete).

Exactly. If I were a history teacher, I would teach Zinn along side the prescribed book. And then get fired :P
