The People Speak by Howard Zinn

Don’t miss this folks. An impassioned dramatic presentation featuring the voices of those that mainstream society has attempted to silence, purposely mis-interpret, or completely ignore.

It’ll air on the History Channel on Sunday, December 13, 2009, 8PM.

A ONCE IN A LIFETIME CAST! The most brilliant arts leaders in one of the world’s most vibrant arts communities speak truth in the words of our country’s visionary leaders. As Howard Zinn’s performance version of his powerful, alternative history splashes nationally with Hollywood’s A-list, CA responds with Baltimore’s own – from a MacArthur “genius” to an activist with the arrest record to prove his committment. Rafael Alvarez, Olu Butterfly, Rosiland Cauthen, Sheila Gaskins, Sine Jensen, Joseph Stands with Many, Kay Lawal-Muhammed, Liz Lerman, Naoko Maeshiba, David Mitchell, Fernando Romero, Bashi Rose, Joyce J. Scott, Marc Steiner, Vivienne Shub, Koli Tengella and Brendann Walsh join Zinn’s co-editor Anthony Arnove. Directed by veteran activist theater director Luisa Bieri de Rios, this staged reading with music by The Shape Note Sisters benefits ACLU of Maryland and Voices of A People’s History.

Come early! Work by Baltimore’s Native American youth are exhibited in True Native – American Angel Warriors with opening reception from 3:30-5:30pm in our lobby.
