Howard Zinn’s “The People Speak” – The All Souls Community Forum is pleased to present a special screening of the new Howard Zinn tribute film, “The People Speak,” a documentary based on Howard Zinn’s groundbreaking books A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States. The documentary shows the rich history of dissent in our nation’s history, and explores why it is so relevant and urgent today. Come hear the likes of Matt Damon, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Penn, Don Cheadle and many others pay tribute to a Boston Great.

Led by Hilary Allen, Community Engagement Manager at Boston Center for Community and Justice, and Meck Groot, MBD Social Justice Coordinator and former Co-Director of Women’s Theological Center.

Unitarian Universalists work hard against systems of domination and oppression. The needs created by these systems are enormous and the strategies for dealing with them perplexing. Those working for transformation can easily feel overwhelmed and spent.
