"Dr. Zinn was an instructor at Upsala College and lecturer at Brooklyn College before joining the faculty of Spelman College in Atlanta, in 1956. He served at the historically black women’s institution as chairman of the history department. Among his students were novelist Alice Walker, who called him 'the best teacher I ever had,' and Marian Wright Edelman, future head of the Children's Defense Fund."
Mark Feeney and Bryan Marquard in The Boston Globe report the sudden death of Howard Zinn in Santa Monica.
