Happy birthday, June Jordan!
June Jordan (1936-2002) was a poet and professor who is celebrated as a great human rights activist and social critic.
Through her work, she taught a concept of “life as activism,” based on inclusiveness, consistency, honesty, and identification with the oppressed.
Far from being a purely idealistic and unsustainable approach to life, Jordan demonstrated that “life as activism” can be a way of engaging with the world that is accessible to all people who are committed to social justice.
Did you know that we published a volume of Jordan's writing? To help celebrate, and to spread the word of her important work, we're offering a discount this month.
