"The memory of Dennis Brutus will remain everywhere
there is struggle against injustice. Uniquely
courageous, consistent and principled, Brutus bridged
the global and local, politics and culture, class and
race, the old and the young, the red and green. He was
an emblem of solidarity with all those peoples
oppressed and environments wrecked by the power of
capital and state elites - hence some in the African
National Congress government labeled him `ultraleft'.
But given his role as a world-class poet, Brutus showed
that social justice advocates can have both bread and
roses."
