I'm pretty sure the first time I heard the word "Anti-Intellectualism," I said "that word is so elitist!" Luckily, I was in the company of one of my greatest teachers, June Jordan. After giggling uncontrollably (her giggle-fests were legendary), she asked me what I thought the word meant. Little did I know we were beginning a dialogue that would last more than a decade, and shape my view of the world.
