    Extractions: New this month: Some of Us Did Not Die: Selected Essays of June Jordan . (Click to purchase.) Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, Jordan was given a 40% prognosis of surviving more than five years but she lived for more than a decade. While she had been a tireless advocate for the voiceless, the nameless, the faceless, and the despised for more than 30 years, she also, with her diagnosis, became an advocate for other women afflicted with the disease. The author of 28 books of poetry, fiction, and social criticism, Jordan was one of the most prolific intellectuals of her generation. But I am sure there are many, of all races, who perused newspaper accounts of her death, with no knowledge of who this woman was… is. In a society that believes that inane dictums embraced by American youth like "Be Like Mike" or "I Am Tiger Woods" are evidence of a color-blind, classless, genderless, and discrimination-free America, June Jordan worked as an activist tirelessly in the very trenches that Nike, Gatorade, McDonalds, Viacom and two national political parties claim in the name of commercial products and pop slogans. We are unlikely to hear any slogans in mainstream media… ever… that proclaim we should "Be Like June."

    Extractions: Revolutionary Worker #1160, July 28, 2002 posted at rwor.org We received this correspondence: On June 14, the people of the world lost a beautiful voice. June Jordan, writer, teacher, and activist, died after ten years of battling breast cancer. June Jordan was a compassionate, angry, dedicated poet who inspired thousands of students and readers to use poetry as a weapon and to speak about, in her words, "unspeakable events"the suffering of the people of the world and the indictment of those who caused it. She was also a beloved teacher. She founded the famous Poetry for the People program at UC Berkeley, which became a model for groups around the country after she and several of her students published June Jordan's Poetry for the People: A Revolutionary Blueprint in 1995. Her Poetry for the People class, which was nearly always overenrolled, and her public readings, which were always packed, were based on breaking down the barrier between the artists and the masses. Students taught each other in small groupsand then taught classes in the community and read their poems at political rallies. She was my professor for two years. There were some views we did not share (like whether the U.S. should have gone into Kosovo or whether elections were the route to liberation for Black people), but she was an inspiration, a model, and a guide to me and many other students.

    Extractions: If you are free, you are not predictable and you are not controllable. To my mind, that is the keenly positive, politicizing significance of bisexual affirmation... to insist upon the equal validity of all the components of social/sexual complexity.” Poet and social activist June Jordan was born in Harlem, and grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. Educated at Barnard College and the University of Chicago, she published her first book of poems, Who Look at Me , in 1969. Her first novel, His Own Where , was nominated for the National Book Award in 1971. She published dozens of books of poetry, children’s books, an opera libretto, and a series of political columns for the Progress . Her writing reflected a life-long commitment to the celebration of Black English as a poetic medium. Jordan came to UC Berkeley in 1986 as a lecturer in the Department of English, and at the time of her death was Professor of African American Studies. She founded and was the director of Poetry for the People, a course which engaged undergraduate students in marathon poetry readings. She was a recipient of the PEN Center USA West Freedom to Write Award and the Chancellor’s Distinguished Lectureship, and in the Fall of 2000 the Poetry for the People program was awarded a Chancellor’s Recognition Award for Community Partnership for it outreach efforts to local high schools, churches and prisons.

    Extractions: Peacework has been published monthly since 1972, intended to serve as a source of dependable information to those who strive for peace and justice and are committed to furthering the nonviolent social change necessary to achieve them. Rooted in Quaker values and informed by AFSC experience and initiatives, Peacework offers a forum for organizers, fostering coalition-building and teaching the methods and strategies that work in the global and local community. Peacework seeks to serve as an incubator for social transformation, introducing a younger generation to a deeper analysis of problems and issues, reminding and re-inspiring long-term activists, encouraging the generations to listen to each other, and creating space for the voices of the disenfranchised. Views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of the AFSC.

    Extractions: June Jordan/Poems JIM CROW: The Sequel An angry Black woman on the subject of the angry White man: We didn't always need affirmative action When we broke this crazy land into farms when we planted and harvested the crops when we dug into the earth for water when we carried that water into the big house kitchens and bedrooms when we built that big house when we fed and clothed other people's children with food we cooked and served to other people's children, wearing the garments that we fitted and we sewed together, when we hacked and hauled huge trees for lumber and fuel, when we washed and polished the chandeliers, when we bleached and pressed the linens purchased by blood profits from our daily forced laborings, when we lived under the whip and in between the coffle and chains, when we watched our babies sold away from us, when we lost our men to anybody's highest bidder, when slavery defined our days and our prayers and our nighttimes of no restthen we did not need affirmative action. Like two-legged livestock we cost the bossman three hundred and fifteen dollars or six hundred and seventy-five dollars so he provided for our keep like two-legged livestock penned into the parched periphery of very grand plantation life. We did not need
