When Malcolm X was assasinated, in whose arms did he lay dying? Do you
know? Please come join us to find out!
The Civil Rights Movement reminds of us names such as Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr and of Malcolm X. Many of us are unaware of other people that
were involved in the movement and how they fought for equality, justice,
and peace. A dynamic woman who was a prisoner of war here in the United
States crossed the lines of race and was influential to the bridging
between cultures during the Civil Rights Movement. This Japanese
American woman was Yuri Kochiyama. She survived during her struggles
and truly should be recognized for her efforts and achievements. The
author of _Heartbeat of a Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Yuri
Kochiyama_, Diane Fujino will be coming to UMass to join undergraduate
students in a Conversation in Leadership sponsored by the Women of Color
Leadership Network(WOCLN), The Yuri Kochiyama Cultural Center, and the
Office of ALANA Affairs. We invite you to join us in conversation over
FREE dinner.
