ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Performances of Voices of a People’s History bring to life the extraordinary history of ordinary people who built the movements that made the United States what it is today, ending slavery and Jim Crow, protesting war and the genocide of Native Americans, creating unions and the eight hour work day, and advancing women's rights and gay liberation.
By giving public expression to rebels, dissenters and visionaries from our past--and present--VOICES seeks to educate and inspire a new generation working for social justice.
This upcoming performance of VOICES in San Francisco will be one of more than 60 such performances in 17 different states held since 2003.
Students and teachers, Oscar winners and activists, have organized and performed VOICES in classrooms and theaters, at conferences and music halls--most recently at the Sundance Film Festival 2009 with Josh Brolin, Benjamin Bratt, Woody Harrelson, Wyclef Jean, Q'orianka Kilcher, Melissa Leo, Robert Redford, and Marisa Tomei.

In 2009, THE PEOPLE SPEAK, a documentary film inspired by VOICES and by Howard Zinn's groundbreaking books, A People's History of the United States, and with Anthony Arnove, Voices of a People's History of the United States, will air on national television and screen at film festivals and select theaters.
