In his memoir, \u003ci\u003eYou Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train\u003c\/i\u003e, Zinn reflects on more than thirty years of fighting for social change, from his teenage years as a laborer in Brooklyn to teaching at Spelman College, where he emerged in the civil rights movement as a powerful voice for justice. A former bombardier in World War II, he later became an outspoken antiwar activist, spirited protestor, and champion of civil disobedience. Throughout his life, Zinn was unwavering in his belief that \"small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.\" With a foreword from activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, this revised edition will inspire a new generation of readers to believe that change is possible.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoward Zinn\u003c\/b\u003e (1922-2010) was a historian, author, professor, playwright, and activist. His life's work focused on a wide range of issues including race, class, war, and history, and touched the lives of countless people. His writing celebrated the accomplishments of social movements and ordinary people, and challenged readers to question the myths that justify war and inequality.

He ended his autobiography with these encouraging words: \"We don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an endless succession of presents, and to live now as we think humans should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eKeeanga-Yamahtta Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor in Princeton University's Center for African American Studies and the author of \u003ci\u003eFrom #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation.\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52028349088045,"sku":"9780807043844","price":20.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/Q3Y3MGlqeUk1bSt1MTgxL2xrTEdFUT09.webp?v=1777441838","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/you-cant-be-neutral-on-a-moving-train-a-personal-history-of-our-times-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
