Howard Zinn, Frank Wills and Pres. Obama

*Mr. Frank wills was the guard at Watergate when the infamous crime was committed. Mr. Wills noticed the tapes on the rear door of the hotel and called the police thus the first steps in dismantling the Nixon administration.

Mr. Zinn wrote a book, “A people’s history of the United States.” In his book, Mr. Zinn talks about Watergate. Mr. Zinn does not mention Mr. Wills' name nor does he acknowledge his contributions. Simply written out of history, if you will followed by Woodward and Bernstein.

Mr. Zinn is considered a historian and in my opinion Mr. Zinn is violating the tenets of a serious and disciplined historian by so early expressing his personal bias regarding the Presidency of Barack Obama. A good role model for his students?

I stopped reading Mr. Zinn’s book after his account of Watergate wondering what other Blacks he had decided did not meet his standards to be included in his book. I would color the good Mr. Dr. Howard Zinn “A Historical Joke!” Even "W" has more discipline and the good grace to keep his opinions to himself during this period in our history.

God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
