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.
