Abstract
Abstract: This portfolio presents three works—an essay, a play, and a poem—all previously unpublished, to honor the late Juanita Morrow Nelson, an anti-war activist, on the centennial of her birth in August 2023. Nelson was involved in various activist fronts including the civil rights movement of the 60s and war tax resistance, and these works represent the spirit of Nelson’s politics and the examination of the injustices of America in the second half of the 20th century.
期刊介绍:
MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
