Solo Performer Mike Daisey Tackles Forgotten History

There's a famous saying: "History is written by the victors." Howard Zinn changed that when he published his landmark "A People's History of the United States" and set off a "quiet revolution." Now, acclaimed monologist Mike Daisey, whom "The New York Times" called "one of the finest solo performers of his generation," picks up where Zinn left off, bringing his trademark blend of the personal and historical to bear in exploring the side of American history they don't teach you in school. From Columbus to today's explosive political climate, Daisey explores the history of those fighting to make America live up to its ideals, and the times when we've fallen sadly short.
