Under the GI Bill he went to college and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University. In 1956, he became a professor at Spelman College in Atlanta, a school for black women, where he soon became involved in the civil rights movement, which he participated in as an adviser to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and chronicled, in his book SNCC: The New Abolitionists. Zinn collaborated with historian Staughton Lynd and mentored a young student named Alice Walker. When he was fired in 1963 for insubordination related to his protest work, he moved to Boston University, where he became a leading critic of the Vietnam War. In his liftetime, Zinn received the Thomas Merton Award, the Eugene V. Debs Award, the Upton Sinclair Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. He is perhaps best known for A People's History of the United States. City Lights previously published his essay collection A Power Governments Cannot Suppress. We feel lucky and proud to have known and worked with him, and are honored to bring The Historic Unfulfilled Promise to a wide readership. 01 eng 156 00 156 03 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Essays 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Politics 01 Americas most famous antiwar Mom speaks out for peace, social justice, and an end to the Iraq War.
