About this Quote

This quote by June Jordan speaks with the worry of white America in the face of social and economic injustice. Jordan acknowledges that the nation's history of violence and personal property has developed a sense of fear and insecurity among those who have actually flourished. She does not deride this fear, however rather recognizes it as a legitimate response to the infraction and deprivation of those who have actually been marginalized. Jordan's words advise us that the fear of those who have flourished is not unfounded, and that the nation must take duty for the oppressions that have actually been inflicted on those who have been denied their rights. Jordan's words likewise function as a call to action, urging us to take actions to resolve the systemic inequalities that have actually triggered so much suffering.
