"Howard Zinn's A People's History molded the perceptions and conscience of a generation by bringing from the recesses of history those unknown and remarkable people who were often its most influential agents. In this new film we can hear their voices, and the messages they offer to us about the path to a better future, a most rewarding experience."

The People Speak will premiere on Sunday, December 13, 2009, at 8 pm (7 pm central), on the History Channel.
