Born in Harlem on this day in 1936, today would be the legend that is June Jordan's 89th birthday
She was mostly known as a poet, but she was also an essayist, activist, and teacher.
The Harlem Riots of 1964 would shape the rest of her life and commit her to the Black Freedom Struggle

Poet. Activist. Architect of Black feminist thought. June Jordan’s words remind us: liberation doesn’t come from outside saviors—it comes from us. #WisdomWednesday #JuneJordan #LiberationFromWithin

As a bonus, this is maybe my favourite #oldlady piece
The brilliant #JuneJordan
“e =mc squared?
I try that on this #oldlady live on my block”
In the battle of wits between Mrs Johnson & Einstein, there can only be one winner… 😆

June Jordan (1936–2002)
Poem for My Love How do we come to be here next to each other in the night Where are the stars that show us to our love inevitable Outside the leaves flame usual in darkness and the rain falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh the black men waiting on the corner for a womanly mirage I am amazed by peace It is this possibility of you asleep and breathing in the quiet air - June Jordan

A picture of the poem Resolution #1’003 by June Jordan. It reads; “I will love who loves me. I will love as much as I am loved. I will hate who hates me. I will feel nothing for everyone oblivious to me. I will stay indifferent to indifference. I will live hostile to hostility. I will make myself a passionate and eager lover in response to passionate and eager love. I will be nobody’s fool.”

Picture of a page from the book, the Essential June Jordan. Text in the photograph reads, “Last year the South African Minister of Justice described Anti-Government Disturbances as Part of a Worldwide Trend toward the Breakdown of Established Political and Cultural Orders. God knows I hope he’s right.”
‘Poem for Nana’ ~ June Jordan, 1980

“Maybe the purpose of being here, wherever we are, is to increase the durability and occasions of love among and between peoples.”

If they cannot love and resist at the same time, they probably will not survive…This is what mothers teach - - love, survival.
