COLLECTION: A 'People's History' of 2013 (Howard Zinn Inspired)

This year has been full of examples of people making history. Although newspapers and textbooks often focus on political and military leaders, the real story was with "ordinary people" in the streets who challenged injustice and worked

Here are 12 milestone events from 2013 with examples of resources we use to think about and teach the people's history. Continue reading at GOOD magazine.
