VideoJune recites "Financial Planning (A Poem Commissioned by Forbes magazine)". (Watch) Kathleen Chalfant reads June June's February 21 speech at Heyward, CA against the 1991 Gulf War. At Voices of a People's History of the United States, May 2, 2007 (Howard Zinnand Anthony Arnove) (Watch) Watch the trailer of A Place of Rage. “A Place of Rage documents the lives and politics of three African-American women. Weaving a narrative of spiritual awakenings, political consciousness and poetry through powerful imagery of Angela Davis speaking, Alice Walker reading and June Jordan teaching, A Place of Rage works like a narrative poem. It takes is title from a statement from June Jordan where she tries to articulate how her poetry and her pedagogy emerges from a ‘place of rage' and builds into some other kind of articulation. The film is moving in its quiet intensity and fascinating in its portrait of three powerful Black artists". -Judith Jack Halberstam Junichi Semitsu performs June's "Owed to Eminem." (Watch) Excerpt from an April 27, 2000 interview at the New York State Writers Institute. (Watch) If you do have rare June Jordan video footage, please contact [email protected]. |
