Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and a leading faculty critic of BU president John Silber, died of a heart attack today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling, his family said. He was 87.
OMG. SO THIS IS THE DUDE THAT JOHNSON WAS TALKING ABOUT! The guy that wrote that one book … A People’s History of the United States. And everyone thought Uhler died, LOL.
HAHAHA ! I was in the middle of my history test and I’m like WTF , UHLER DIED? HAHA That was such a good laugh. And it was nice to know I wasn’t the only one thinking of that ! I saw him afterschool and I was just laughing to myself.
OMG. When Johnson said that I was like, “HOLY F….UHLER DIED?!?!?!?!” Hahaha, good laughs :)
