Zinn on Twentieth Century

[Marta Russell]

I recently picked up a copy of Howard Zinn's latest revised "The
Twentieth Century: A People's History" but it appears as though disabled
people don't rate as "the people."  In this "history" book about the
20th Century with a new section on the Reagan and Bush eras, there is
absolutely no mention of the Americans with Disabilities Act anywhere
that I can find, or the fact that there was a new civil rights movement
in this country after the one in the 60s.
What a sham.

What is with people like Zinn.  Are they just too thick to get it, are
they uneducated or do they intentionally ignore the disability rights
movement because we aren't "important"?

If anyone knows how I can contact Zinn, I'd like to ask him personally.
