Yuri Kochiyama
Although, technically born in the U.S., Yuri, the daughter of Japanese immigrants, was not treated as a citizen as a young woman. The Federal government interned her in Kansas for over 3 years during WWII, and upon her release, she didn't move back to her native California, but instead moved to Harlem. As a Japanese-American, she joined an unlikely grou - Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity. Yuri famously was pictured in Life Magazine holding Malcolm X as he lay dying. Yuri's activist causes were diverse, including Puerto Rican independence, protesting the Vietnam War, nuclear disarmament, and rights for political prisoners. Yuri was nominated for a Nobel Prize through the 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005 Project. She has been the subject of documentaries and plays. Yuri died at the age of 93 in June 2014.
