The Zinn Education Project
is a collaboration between
Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change
The goal is to introduce students to a more accurate, complex, and
engaging understanding of United States history than is found in
traditional textbooks and curricula. The empowering potential of
studying U.S. history is often lost in a textbook-driven trivial
pursuit of names and dates. Zinn’s
A People’s History of the United States emphasizes
the role of working people, women, people of color, and organized
social movements in shaping history. Students learn that history is
made not by a few heroic individuals, but instead by people’s choices
and actions and therefore students’ own choices and actions also
matter. For more information, visit
