Author and historian Howard Zinn died yesterday of a heart attack at 87. He was professor emeritus in the Political Science Department at Boston University and an author of more than 20 books, including the million-plus bestseller, "A People's History of the United States." Two weeks ago, he joined veteran journalist Callie Crossley on her show. We ask her about the legacy Zinn leaves behind him.
Callie Crossley is host of The Callie Crossley show on our partner station WGBH in Boston.
