Letter from Bill Bigelow to Marilyn Harris, July 9, 2020
Bill Bigelow is curriculum editor of Rethinking Schools magazine and co-director of the Zinn Education Project. He wrote Rethinking Columbus in 1992.
“What remarkable work you have done. The play is extraordinary. I can’t remember that anything remotely this interesting was produced during the Quincentenary. It has echoes of the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s humorous but biting plays about historical and contemporary social issues…
“Your play incorporates such important scholarship, as well as clever, astute wordsmithing…
“I thought the ending was very clever, and suggests a version of the Columbus trial that I included in the book Rethinking Columbus.“
