Civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama was present at the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965. Kochiyama held the movement’s visionary hero in her arms, attempting to help him pull through. Kochiyama endured the racist incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, which set her on a path of seeking justice for all marginalized communities, leading to her becoming a major champion of civil rights for Black and all Americans. – Photo: Rea Tajiri and Pat Saunders, “Yuri Kochiyama: Passion for Justice” (1993)
