SUMMARY:The People Speak: Good Trouble\, Public Witness\, and a Collective Humanity
DESCRIPTION:The People Speak (TPS) is a two-day event that builds on the work of late historian Howard Zinn (1922-2010) to breathe life and energy into the extraordinary contributions of those who helped to create a refined vision for society and the world. \nDay One (Voices) features a live stage presentation with a diverse cast of individuals reading excerpts from historically and culturally significant literature (ex.\, speeches\, poems).
