Growing up an Asian-American in Southern California during the Interwar period, Yuri Kochiyama joined clubs and volunteered to better her community, a drive that lasted her entire life. After being imprisoned in the Japanese camps during WWII, Yuri could only find jobs and acceptance within other minority communities, and living in Harlem drove her to fight for justice, supporting the Civil Rights movement by connecting activists in various parties with each other, building bridges until the very end of her life.
