Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s property tax plan pits young against old
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s plan to extend “senior” homestead exemptions to those age 55 is the wrong direction for Texas. Yes, Patrick’s focus on more exemptions...

However, a resurgence of interest in her work since the 1970s has solidified Rukeyser’s reputation as an essential 20th-century American voice. Her legacy is defined by her belief in the power of connection and the necessity of bearing witness to injustice. /end

Rukeyser’s life as a radical, queer single mother during the conservative Cold War era also fueled personal attacks that were used to justify the dismissal of her work. As a leftist activist, Rukeyser faced difficulties finding publishers and academic jobs during the Red Scare and McCarthy era. /7

Rukeyser’s work uses a collage-like, associative aesthetic that challenged traditional forms, defying easy categorization by the literary establishment of her time. Critics dismissed her work, often in overtly misogynist terms, for being too political, too emotional and too socially engaged. /6

The Book of the Dead is a memorial exposing the classist, racist and capitalist structures that caused the disaster. Using non-literary sources and journalistic techniques, Rukeyser creates a “poem of witness” connecting the miners’ journey to an underworld with the Egyptian Book of the Dead. /5

In 1933, Rukeyser traveled to Alabama to cover the second “Scottsboro Boys” trial and was briefly arrested. Witnessing the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona in 1936 inspired her novel Savage Coast, which was rejected by publishers but found in her archives and published in 2013. /3

The Bill of Rights had little judicial impact until the 20th century, and then primarily by extension to the states via the 14th Amendment. Today, however, it’s hard to imagine how America would have evolved without these fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution. /end
