The Documentary Film & Discussion Series Presents, Howard Zinn: Holy Wars, March 11
This month’s Documentary Film & Discussion Series presents Howard Zinn: Holy Wars (70 min.) in the Ashland Library’s Community Room, 7:00-9:00 pm. Admission is free. Viewers are invited to stay for discussion. All points of view are welcome. (This film was rescheduled from January.)
In his last recorded public talk on Veterans Day at BU, Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus, historian, and activist, questions three wars in U.S. history: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II.
Zinn recounts his WWII experience as an Air Force bombardier and his participation in the first napalm bombing by the U.S. “I didn’t think about or question then what I was doing,” Zinn says. “It was later when I was older that I began to question what I had done.”
