This latest iteration of the now nine-year-long Lincoln Center commission series Voices of a People’s History continues our revitalization of the work of Brooklyn-born author and scholar Howard Zinn. This live event focuses on Zinn's timeless and insightful book, A People’s History of the United States, a document of the vital everyday epics of common men and women engaged in the life and death struggle for justice: abolitionists, activists, protesters, founders of the first American unions, suffragettes who advanced women's rights, and pioneers of gay liberation. All these heroic voices will be brought to life in performance by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by artist-activists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts. Joining the students for a special guest reading is actor Tatiana Maslany, as well as musical accompaniment provided by pianist Jacob Yates.
