Juneteenth Edition
Marking the present to commemorate past and future liberations
“I claim responsibility for the Israeli crimes against humanity because I am an American and American monies made these atrocities possible,” the poet and activist June Jordan wrote in 1982. “I claim responsibility [...] because, clearly, I have not done enough to halt heinous episodes of holocaust and genocide around the globe. I accept this responsibility and I work for the day when I may help to save any one other life, in fact. I believe that you cannot claim a people and not assume responsibility for what that people do or don’t do. You cannot claim to be human and not assume responsibility for the value of all human life.”
