A People's History of the United States: The Wall Charts is a set of two oversized posters and an explanatory booklet designed to bring the contents of Howard Zinn's definitive history of America to an even broader audience. Measuring roughly 3' x 5' each, the posters are illustrated in full color. Together they cover more than five hundred years of American social and cultural history in a direct and accessible manner. Poster One covers the period from 1492 to 1900, and Poster Two covers the twentieth century.
