Readings from Voices of a People's History of the United States DVD
Details
On October 22, 2004, a remarkable event was held at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, where a talented group of actors and activists helped bring the book's dramatic voices to life. Captured beautifully on this DVD, these powerful readings include Paul Roberson, Jr. reciting from his father's suppressed testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, Lili Taylor reading Emma Goldman's blistering attack on patriotism, and John Sayles reading an anti-imperialist essay by Mark Twain.
Other unforgettable speeches were delivered by Brian Jones as Frederick Douglass, Sarah Jones as Yuri Kochiyama, Leslie Silva as Anne Moody, Wallace Shawn as Vito Russo, and many more. Radio host Amy Goodman kicks off the evening with a remarkable tribute to Howard Zinn, and Zinn himself talks movingly about the motivation for bringing these often ignored or hidden voices to light.
