Black Life Celebrates June Jordan’s Poetry for the People

Black Life proudly celebrates writer, poet, and activist June Jordan and Poetry for the People, the arts and activism program Jordan founded in 1991 at UC Berkeley. Poetry for the People exemplified the late Jamaican American poet’s insistence on multicultural and intersectional solidarity in global struggles for self-determination. This special celebration includes readings of Jordan’s writing selected by Black Life curator ruth gebreyesus, as well as a poetry workshop in collaboration with Jasmine Flowers, a steward of the Erskine A. Peters Reading Room on the UC Berkeley campus.
