Today is the legendary activist Yuri Kochiyama’s birthday! We’re celebrating by revisiting one of our favorite AAWW Radio episodes featuring audio from our 2005 event with activists and political organizers Fred Ho, Baba Herman Ferguson, Esperanza Martell, and Laura Whitehorn. You’ll hear about how Yuri’s Harlem apartment was a social hub for activists in the 60s, fighting for Puerto Rican independence, and how she transformed from a budding activist to a symbol of revolutionary change.
