I'm proud to share this collaboration with Asian American Girl Club
As a Japanese American, I value the vital contribution and sacrifice Black Americans have given to our country from day one. It is unjust that Black communities continue to be marginalized while so many of us benefit from the foundations that they have laid before us. I hope that this image of Yuri Kochiyama, a Japanese American who actively supported Black lives decades ago, alongside Malcolm X, who always had the best interest of Black Americans at heart, will be a reminder that allyship is the key to the truly equal America we want to see.
