Howard Zinn On Memorial Day: The Memory of the Dead Deserves a Different Dedication


Memorial Day will be celebrated ... by the usual betrayal of the dead, by the hypocritical patriotism of the politicians and contractors preparing for more wars, more graves to receive more flowers on future Memorial Days. The memory of the dead deserves a different dedication. To peace, to defiance of governments.

- Howard Zinn
