This is a heads-up about a program on Sunday night on The History Channel (8-10 p.m. ET). It's based on Howard Zinn's book, The People Speak. Here's how The History Channel's web site describes it.
The People Speak:
This two-hour special focuses on the concept of democracy, based on the lives and experiences of ordinary Americans who, through their words and actions, changed the course of history. The film will take viewers on a journey from the founding of this country to the civil rights movement and beyond. It features dramatic performances chronicling the history of this country, including charter documents, letters, diaries and more, from such celebrities as Matt Damon and Josh Brolin who are also the Executive Producers, as well as performances by Viggo Mortensen, David Strathairn, Marisa Tomei, Don Cheadle, Jasmine Guy, Q'orianka Kilcher, Michael Ealy, Kerry Washington, and musical performances from Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Allison Moorer and John Legend. These slices of life will be woven together with archival footage and interviews.
