Since their days writing --and being fired from -- the Boston Globe for their weekly column "Left Field Stands", host Eric Mann and Howard Zinn have been friends and comrades. Zinn, a monumental figure on the Left, reflects on five decades in the movement, from working closely with Fanny Lou Hamer and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the early years of the Civil Rights Revolution to teaching a student from a poor southern family named Alice Walker at Spelman College to the writing and publication of his ground-breaking work A People's History of the United States.
