GRITtv: From History to Action: Inspired by Howard Zinn

Last week, rebel historian, best-selling author, and lifelong activist Howard Zinn passed away at age 87. His books, teachings, and most recently the film based on his work, touched the lives of activists and progressives around the world, but the greatest legacy he left us was a legacy of acting on your beliefs. We speak with four people whose lives, careers, and activism were shaped by Howard Zinn's work: poet Staceyann Chin, author of "The Other Side of Paradise:" A Memoir, progressive sportswriter Dave Zirin, Nation contributor and author of several books, including "A People's History of Sports in the United States," and teacher, actor and activist Brian Jones.
