• “I feel that my whole life is a contribution.”
• “I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it.”
• “One of the things I'm most proud of about my country is the fact that we did lick McCarthyism back in the fifties.”

Leon Shenandoah
b. 5-18-1915
d. 7-22-1996

Leon Shenandoah, as Chief of the Chiefs of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, was the keeper of the central fire.

‘The fire that never dies’ is a symbol for a tradition that began centuries ago when a man they called the Peace Maker persuaded them to make a ‘Great Peace’ by forming a confederacy among themselves, based on a ‘Great Binding Law.’

He taught them that the way to overcome their conflicts was through a greater perspective. He said, “Think not forever of yourselves, O Chiefs, nor of your own generation. Think of the continuing generations of our families, think of our grandchildren and of those yet unborn, whose faces are coming from beneath the ground.”

May Sinclair, née Mary Amelia St. Clair
b. 8-24-1862; England
d. 11-14-1946; Parkinson's Disease

Suffragist May Sinclair was the pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair, a popular writer of about two dozen novels, short stories, poetry and critiques. The literary term ‘stream of consciousness’ is attributed to her.

May Sinclair quotes ~
• “The War will leave none of us as it found us.”
• “At the moment you are no longer an observing, reflecting being; you have ceased to be aware of yourself; you exist only in that quiet, steady thrill that is so unlike any excitement that you have ever known.”

Upton Sinclair
b. 9-20-1878; Maryland
d. 11-25-1968

American author Upton Sinclair achieved much popularity in the first half of the 20th century for his investigations of social conditions, and notariety for his advocacy of socialist views and anarchist causes, such as his arrest for reading the First Amendment (free speech) at a labor rally in 1923. He gained particular fame for his novel, 'The Jungle', which dealt with conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry and caused a public uproar that contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.

Upton Sinclair quotes ~
• “What life means to me is to put the content of Shelley into the form of Zola. The proletarian writer is a writer with a purpose; he thinks no more of “art for art's sake” than a man on a sinking ship thinks of painting a beautiful picture in the cabin; he thinks of getting ashore — and then there will be time enough for art.” Cosmopolitan (October 1906)
• “All art is propaganda. It is universally and inescapably propaganda; sometimes unconsciously, but often deliberately, propaganda.” Mammonart - an Essay in Economic Interpretation Ch. 2 Who Owns the Artists? (1925)
• “I am not a giant physically; I shrink from pain and filth and vermin and foul air, like any other man of refinement; also, I freely admit, when I see a line of a hundred policeman with drawn revolvers flung across a street to keep anyone from coming on to private property to hear my feeble voice. But I have a conscience and a religious faith, and I know that our liberties were not won without suffering, and may be lost again through our cowardice.” Letter to the Los Angeles Chief of Police (1928-04-07)
• “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
