Trinity Fellows Program

Yuri Kochiyama was a civil rights activist that drew inspiration from Malcolm X and other leaders pursuing change in 1960’s America. A survivor of Japanese internment, Kochiyama spoke out against all kinds of oppression alongside African American, Asian American and Puerto Rican social justice leaders. Kochiyama was not only present for Malcolm X’s assassination, but was one of few individuals that ran to the slain leader to comfort him as he died.
