June Jordan, born on this day in 1936, was a queer Jamaican-American author, feminist, and educator whose works include Some of Us Did Not Die and Report From the Bahamas. "Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth."
In her writing, Jordan explores issues of gender, race, capitalism, privilege, immigration, and representation. Jordan was passionate about using Black English in both her writing and her classroom, teaching her students to treat Black English as its own language and as an important outlet for expressing Black culture.
As a professor at Berkeley, Jordan founded the "Poetry for the People" program in 1991. Its aim was to inspire and empower students to use poetry as a means of artistic expression.
Although not widely recognized when first published in 1982, Jordan's essay "Report from the Bahamas", has since become an important work in gender studies, sociology, and anthropology.
"Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth."

just a heads up. The way the game is built ahslander and great house endorsements are all tracked with the same counter so if you get all the ashlanders on board you only need one house so if you are trying to do all of them the dialogues get a bit funny.
i think i'm going to have to do them all, i saw the reputation 'shortcut' on uesp but my very foolish interpretation of Caius 'go git good' was to go do the legion, which yields 1 point. total.
makes sense but lmao i only have rep from the main quest
What I mean is that you have to be named hortator of 3 houses and nerevarine of 4 camps but with TR if you do 6 camps you only need 1 house.
oh so the new ones are basically optional? i had hoped that was the case then the wise woman sprung them on me in the dialogue
maybe ill do one mainland tribe and skip the slave-wife one on vardenfell
