Voices of a People's History
Host – From Past to Present 

In Spring 2022, I hosted From Past to Present, a new conversation series honoring the centenary of historian Howard Zinn (1922-2010), author of the classic bestseller A People's History of the United States. Together, my guests and I drew from Zinn's example of interrogating key moments of the historical record via documents, images, and recordings to create an illuminating dialogue on what the past can teach contemporary audiences.
