The Truth behind
the Truth
"Even it was pain to be told,
but surely the truth was absolutely thing that had to be revealed."
-Hadi Wibowo
Introduction
Truth is the most important thing that
has to be revealed. Everything that happened is has to be told honestly, so the
mistake didn’t happen twice. Howard Zinn, the creator of the book A People's History of the United States,
was the man who struggled to tell the United States people about the truth of
Christopher Columbus. All of time, people thought that Christopher Columbus was
the man who found the American Continent, the savior, the lighter, and the Hero
of America. History was being manipulated at that time, and Howard Zinn was the
one who revealed the truth about Columbus. Howard Zinn thought why the person
who genocide the whole Indian Arawaks had to be a Hero. If United States people
continued think that Columbus was a hero, they would repeat the wrong thing
that happened on the past. Howard Zinn sent the truth with his book to make the
United States people realized they have to know the truth even it is a pain. It
was a coup d’état to his nation, and
the biggest step to clear the thick cloud that surrounded United States’
history.
