Yuri Kochiyama in Berkeley on Saturday

The Godmother of Asian America

Here's a great piece on Yuri Kochiyama. She'll be appearing in Berkeley on Saturday. I'll be across the country, but if you can, please go and thank her for all she has done for all of us.

"Learn about yourselves and others. There's more commonality in all of our lives than we think."
-Yuri Kochiyama
