FBI Tried To Get Howard Zinn Fired

The FBI spied on the late left-wing historian all his career, but when he criticized the Bureau, they tried to get Boston University to fire him. As to how to deal with the FBI, Zinn said:

They don’t like social movements. They work for the establishment and the corporations and the politicos to keep things as they are. And they want to frighten and chill the people who are trying to change things. So the best defense against them and resistance against them is simply to keep on fighting back, to keep on exposing them.
