I've been dreading this day for several years now. We all hoped that somehow Howard Zinn would live forever. We needed Howard Zinn to live forever. He was a true friend, for some of us a dear friend, who gave voice to our deepest feelings as our lives intersected with his, sometimes often, sometime occasionally, as the months, the years and the decades gathered steam and rolled by.
