Howard Zinn [videorecording] : you can't be neutral on a moving train / by Damon, Matt,narrator.(CARDINAL)267441; Ellis, Deb,director.(CARDINAL)198994; Mueller, Denis,director.; First-Run Features (Firm)(CARDINAL)356877;
Music composed by Richard Martinez ; narrator, Matt Damon.Howard Zinn; interviewees include Oscar Chase, Alice Walker, Marian Wright Edelman, Noam Chomsky, Staughton Lynd, Cleveland Sellers, Bob Moses, Clayborne Carson, Tom Hayden, Stanley Kutler, Daniel Ellsberg, Dan Berrigan, Jay Craven, Ray Mungo, Francis Fox Piven, Elsa Misson; narration, Matt Damon.Historian, activist, and author Howard Zinn loves his country. This does not mean he refrains from reproaching it for its crimes; such reproach is one of the spurs to it doing better one day soon. To that end, Zinn became an academic. However, as the child of poor, working-class parents, Zinn has also been a blue-collar dockworker and labor organizer, a decorated WW2 bombardier, an adviser to the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and leader of the peace movement at Boston University in the 1960s. Zinn is the rare historian who's been brave enough to participate in the making of history, and this film finds him returning to the role of anti-war activist in post 9/11 America, asserting the value of nonviolent civil disobedience, and the need for ''people's movements'' to effect social change.DVD.

The fifth book in the We Say What's Okay series, We Can Say No follows Zakiya and Sami as they learn that their bodies, including their hair, belong to them and that no one should touch them without permission. Using the book as a read-aloud, educators and families can model the language Zakiya and Sami's teacher uses to support them. The author, who hosts workshops and trainings on teaching boundaries and consent for families and early childhood educators around the country, offers additional activities in the back of the book. Digital content includes a song from Peaceful Schools with downloadable audio files and sheet music. We Say What's Okay SeriesCentered around a class of preschoolers, this series helps teach young children the social and emotional skills they need to understand the complexities of consent. Each book covers a consent theme, such as how to recognize the physical sensations that emotions create, look for body language cues, ask for and listen to choices, and know that our bodies have value. With believable, everyday situations and diverse characters, children can see themselves and others reflected in each story-and develop a vocabulary to communicate consent and feelings. Every book in the series is accompanied by its own song from Peaceful Schools with downloadable audio files and sheet music.
