June Jordan, Too Black, and Insurgent Grammars
christen [inactive]"I am very familiar with the problems of the C.I.A.
and the problems of South Africa and the problems
of Exxon Corporation and the problems of white
America in general and the problems of the teachers
and the preachers and the F.B.I. and the social
workers and my particular Mom and Dad/I am very
familiar with the problems because the problems
turn out to be
me"

RI DaSēr K"I really think that I know that Americans now are simply overwhelmed; like what is happening, what can we do. Everybody's tendency is understandably to try to take care of yourself; cover your back, make sure you have a house, a door for the key. I say that as understandable as that is, it seems to me that we cannot afford to divorce ourselves from what is happening in South Africa, for example, or for that matter, what is happening in West Germany, or Poland any more than the Reagan administration divides these issues. I think that the Reagan Administration and people in that; they see everything in global terms. From Brooklyn to Angola is not a big jump for them at all. I think that unless we, the people, begin to think in the same way, to make these connections, really on a visceral level, I feel for the survival of the species."

é.Reading June Jordan's essays from the 1990s, collected in AFFIRMATIVE ACTS. A good remedy for grief and worry -- solidarity, ancestry, action. Makes sense. It matters to know one's fight is not new and not solitary. Like Dorothy Day wrote, we have all known the long loneliness and we know that the answer is love, and that love comes in community. Thankful for the writing of both of these people. #JuneJordan #DorothyDay #ActiveHope #Solidarity
