Your Call 041608 A People's History of American Empire

How do you teach America's true history to young people? On the next Your Call we discuss the new book, A People's History of American Empire, a graphic novelization of Howard Zinn's landmark book. 28 years ago, A People's History of the United States launched what Zinn called a quiet revolution in American history classrooms. But the battle is not over in the nation's history curriculum. What do you do to correct the story about America's history? It's Your call with Rose Aguilar and you.
