From Civil Rights activist and full-time organizer in the Deep South Ernest McMillan: a collection of poems and short stories that seeks to explore the dynamics of love.


Ernest McMillan began writing essays and short stories in earnest while imprisoned for his work as a Civil Rights activist. Ranging from commentaries on society to short stories and poetry, these pieces reflect the experiences of a fugitive, revolutionary spirit.


This collection of poetry and short stories exists in tandem with Standing, a memoir of McMillan's experiences as a human rights activist. From the particular to the universal, Kneeling meditates on how precious and invaluable it is to sit still, to reflect, and go to oneโ€™s interior and feast on what truly matters.

M. Ernest McMillan is a veteran human rights activist who worked throughย the 1960s in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia with the Studentย Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and throughout the 1980sย with the National Black United Front and the United League of Mississippi.ย McMillan served as the Chairman of the Dallas SNCC from 1967 to 1969.ย In 2007, he returned to his hometown, Dallas, where he continued toย volunteer extensively for organizations such as the Dallas Peace Center,ย IFCO/Pastors for Peace, Youth Believing in Change, Cara Mia Theatre Company, Owenwood Farm,ย and Neighbor Space. Today, he resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he intends to keepย up his lifeโ€™s work, building bridges to support the emerging movement for self-determination,ย justice, and equity.
