Variant names
Yuri Kochiyama (河内山 百合子, Kōchiyama Yuriko, May 19, 1921–June 1, 2014) was an American civil rights activist. Influenced by her Japanese-American family's incarceration, her association with Malcolm X, and her Maoist beliefs, she advocated for many causes, including black separatism, the anti-war movement, reparations for Japanese-American internees, and the rights of people imprisoned by the U.S. government for violent offenses whom she considered to be political prisoners.
