Mickey Z dives, Howard Zinn style, into American history, to excavate 50 people and events that should make us all proud...but from which you're unlikely to read, or hear about, from the flag-waving jingoists. There's Thomas Paine and Emma Goldman, of course. Eugene Debs running for president from his prison cell. American Indians occupying Alcatraz, the Battle of Seattle, Muhammad Ali saying no to the military draft, and Lolita Lebron attacking Congress. There's Coxey's Army, Public Enemy, and the Families of 9/11 victims saying no to revenge, and forty or so other reasons to feel inspired, encouraged, and proud that amongst all the lies and nonsense, a lot of good stuff has happened here in America.
