Does reading about a social activist who defied ethnic divisions in the US sound like time well spent?

Yuri Kochiyama was born of Japanese American immigrants and happily bought into the American Dream. But Kochiyama was politically awakened when her family was forced into internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Heartbeat of a Struggle takes us through each phase of her political activism, from her friendship with Malcolm X to the healing she helped forge between Asian and Black communities. This piercing look into Kochiyama’s political career is a rewarding syllabus for social activists of today and an indictment on a racist system. A brava.
