To our knowledge, there was nothing at the Smithsonian that represented her life. Online, Yuri\u2019s most iconic image is the grisly 1965\u00a0<em>Life Magazine<\/em>\u00a0photo of her cradling the head of the assassinated Malcolm X. It didn\u2019t take long to realize that this image was one of the only \u201cobjects\u201d representing Yuri\u2019s life to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The notion of a <em>Folk Hero<\/em>\u00a0often emerges from the blurring of fact and fiction; America is full of these figures. Their lives are kept alive through stories and songs, performance and art, on the tongues of those who believe in the richness of preserving their legacies.<\/p>\n<p>But Yuri is real \u2013 and she is more than a footnote in the life of another man. Yuri survived forced relocation during World War II, eventually urging the apology from the U.S. government for the internment of Japanese Americans. She was Malcolm X\u2019s pen pal during his trip to Africa, receiving his postcards from nine different countries. She was a cornerstone in the Black Power and Asian American liberation movements alike, and was a fierce voice for a range of global civil rights efforts until her death. Yuri\u2019s life could be the stuff of tall tales \u2013 if it were not so true.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w648150ebd1df1-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w648150ebd1df1-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><p>In this age of digital excess, the collection of artifacts in the public domain for Yuri Kochiyama is unfortunately sparse. Yet, there is a wealth of drawings, songs, poems, flyers, and other expressions that mark her memory. While tapping artists and organizers to share works for this tribute, we realized this: for an Asian Pacific American community whose experience remains at margins in the national collections, even our titans are considered niche.<\/p>\n<p>It is up to us to fashion our history. Tomorrow\u2019s canon is stored in our drawers, hard drives, and minds. This tribute contains just a few artifacts from a range of artists and organizers who have been impacted by Yuri Kochiyama. It is an exhibition of the people. It is a museum of us.<\/p>\n<p>This is for Yuri.
