The Modell Lyric Education Department and the University of Baltimore (UB) Diversity and Culture Center presents a staged reading of excerpts from Howard Zinn’s landmark book A People's History of the United States on Tuesday, February 12th from 12-2 pm at the University of Baltimore’s Wright Theater. The event is free and open to the public.

Written in 2005 by the legendary historian, professor, playwright author and activist, A People’s History has become an integral part of study in colleges and universities, book clubs, reading groups, and community and social justice organizations across the nation. The 10th anniversary edition, which will be used for the staged reading, contains social movement updates including Occupy Wall Street, marriage equality, and the DREAM Act.
