Based on the bestselling companion volume to Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Voices of a People's History brings to the stage songs and speeches outlining America's constant struggle to do the right thing. With a roster of guests including Benjamin Bratt, Josh Brolin, Diane Lane, the Stairwell Sisters, Clarence Thomas, and Robin Wright Penn — with Zinn on "conducting" duties — Voices weaves together first-person accounts of American activism throughout history, from Frederick Douglass to Cindy Sheehan. Whether exposing the hypocrisy of Independence Day or the fallacy of an "all-volunteer" army in an economically polarized society, these voices of dissent share a uniquely American urge for self-improvement — making today's noticeable lack of civil disobedience all the more troublesome.
