Howard Zinn (1922–2010) was an American historian, playwright, and activist.

His other works include SNCC: The New Abolitionists and The Zinn Reader. A People's History, first published in 1980 and updated through several editions, has sold more than three million copies and remains widely assigned in American high schools and universities despite persistent controversy over its methodology and perspective.
