[lbo-talk] Sunny Taylor in MR

[John Mage]

In the March MR we've published an article (and self-portrait) by a
brilliant 21yr old disabled artist, Sunny Taylor.
<http://www.monthlyreview.org/0304taylor.htm> Paul Sweezy was emphatic
on the importance of the disabled movement, and a fan of Marta Russell.
Paul was the first person I ever heard to make a point Sunny Taylor
makes (among others) in this piece - that being abled is a temporary
condition; in time we can all expect to be disabled. Sunny told me that
her activism began with reading a piece by Marta Russell and Jean
Stewart in the MR summer of 2001 issue on the US prison gulag
<http://www.monthlyreview.org/0701russell.htm>. There's something about
our publishing Sunny's piece just as Paul dies that is so right.
