What does Howard Zinn say the two most important things are when writing a History book?

anyone familiar with Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States could possibly know this. I know it's from chapter I apparently, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

*whips out AP history binder from junior year* *throws binder on floor, whips out A People's History of the United States* Well, Zinn wrote that, "we must not accept the memory of states as our own. Nations are not communities and never have been." Also, he writes, "I don't want to romanticize them." He says he's blunt about the history and doesn't act like, for example, Columbus killed a bunch of people, but, oh, he was a hero! Yes. Oh! And, "I don't want to invent victories for people's movements." Take from that what you will, but basically be blunt about what happened and don't romanticize. Woo, never thought I would be using Zinn again.
