[Howard Zinn](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn) je bil ameriški zgodovinar, pisec, ki je napisal več kot 20 knjig in družbeni aktivist. Matta Damona pa ni potrebno posebej predstavljati. Matt Damon v videposnetku prebere govor, ki ga je vredno poslušati in premisliti ob njem. Howard Zinn je tako razložil svoj govor iz leta 1970:

_“In November 1970, after my arrest along with others who had engaged in a Boston protest at an army base to block soldiers from being sent to Vietnam, I flew to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore to take part in a debate with the philosopher Charles Frankel on civil disobedience. I was supposed to appear in court that day in connection with the charges resulting from the army base protest. I had a choice: show up in court and miss this opportunity to explain — and practice — my commitment to civil disobedience, or face the consequences of defying the court order by going to Baltimore. I chose to go. The next day, when I returned to Boston, I went to teach my morning class at Boston University. Two detectives were waiting outside the classroom and hauled me off to court, where I was sentenced to a few days in jail. Here is the text of my speech that night at Johns Hopkins.”_

[Matt Damon reads from Howard Zinn’s speech “The Problem is Civil Obedience” (November 1970)](http://vimeo.com/48834336) from [Voices of a People's History](http://vimeo.com/peopleshistory) on [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com).
