When the Diversity and Inclusion office in Michigan Housing began the renovation process for the Yuri Kochiyama Multicultural Lounge, we wanted to share her story more prominently and delve deeper into Yuri Kochiyama\u2019s life and legacy. Yuri Kochiyama\u2019s early experiences in the Japanese Internment Camps shaped her career in advocacy. After establishing her and her family\u2019s life in Harlem, Yuri Kochiyama attended a speech by Malcolm X which transformed her life.<\/p>\n
