In Memory and Honor of
Marilyn Jean Buck
December 13, 1947 – August 3, 2010
Humanity
bows its head in honor of the passing of a true people’s hero and warrior for
peace, freedom, and justice. Marilyn Buck passed away Tuesday, August 3, 2010
at approximately 2:15 pm amongst comrades and friends.
Marilyn
privately fought her cancer just as gallantly as she publicly fought against
the cancers of oppression, exploitation, classism, and racism in a place called
America.
Freedom
fighters, peace-loving people of the world, human rights activists, community
folks, families, friends, and fellow prisoners, all salute you Marilyn. The
people salute you! Your life has taught us strength, resistance against
injustice, courage in the face of death, self-esteem, love for our neighbor and
the underprivileged, compassion for the weak and downtrodden, solidarity
amongst the races, leadership, and humility.
Our Movement,
our national liberation struggles, our undergrounds and abovegrounds, our
formations, our community programs, our collectives and organizations, and all
the midnight oil ever burned, owes you nothing but our utmost appreciation,
admiration, respect, prayers, and love.
Rest in peace
with hope from the other side that the torch you left will be passed on!

... A revolution now cannot be confined to the place or people where it may
commence, but flashes with lightning speed from heart to heart, from land to
land, til it has traversed the globe ...
