Proposed Edits

I notice that the existing article lacks mention of numerous organizations and movements that Kochiyama was a part of in a meaningful way – the Young Lords Party, Harlem Community for Self Defense, New York Justice for Vincent Chin Coalition, the Japanese American Redress and Reparations Movement, and the International Political Prisoner Rights Movement. The lead section mentions her anti-war stance and activism, yet the actual article does not describe her involvement in this. She was actually responsible for initiating a meeting between Malcolm X and the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Study Mission from Japan. I would hope to research her involvement in these organizations and her anti-war action, and create robust, well-cited edits to her article page.Vanuliarya (talk) 01:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The current Wikipedia article of Yuri Kochiyama could benefit from more depth on the variety of activism that Kochiyama engaged in. The article mentions her involvement in multiple causes, including black separatism, the anti-war movement, reparations for Japanese-American internees, and the rights of political prisoners, yet only goes into some of these topics in the article itself. Furthermore, the two main categories of the article, “Activist life” and “Advocacy” are not substantial in length and do not cover the breadth of work done in these areas.

Died in two places?

Normally people die in one place. The info box lists she died in Berkeley, CA, and the text says she died in Oakland, CA. I believe that she died in Berkeley, CA.
