The dark haired bloke from the romcom films reads Eugene Debs
From a public performance of Howard Zinn's Voices of a People's History of the United States, Mark Ruffalo reads excerpts from Eugene Debs' 1918 Canton, Ohio anti-war speech. A speech for which Debs was arrested under the 1917 Espionage Act and sentenced to ten years in the Atlanta Penitentiary.
The full text of Debs' 1918 speech is available here.
More speeches from Zinn's Voices of a People's History of the United States - performed by the likes of Alfre Woodward, Danny Glover, Josh Brolin, Sandra Oh and Marisa Tomei - are available here.
