This video is a trailer for The People Speak, a star-studded (Danny Glover, Marisa Tomei, Viggo Mortenson, and many others) four part television series inspired by Howard Zinn's book, A People's History of the United States. The series, hosted by Zinn, features performers telling the stories of those whose voices weren't heard in traditional history textbooks. It was shot in Boston's Cutler Majestic Theatre, and organized around four themes: class, women, race and war. Check out the video to your right for more.
