Proposed Edits

I notice that the existing article lacks mention of numerous organizations and movements that Kochiyama was a part of in a meaningful way – the Young Lords Party, Harlem Community for Self Defense, New York Justice for Vincent Chin Coalition, the Japanese American Redress and Reparations Movement, and the International Political Prisoner Rights Movement. The lead section mentions her anti-war stance and activism, yet the actual article does not describe her involvement in this. She was actually responsible for initiating a meeting between Malcolm X and the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Study Mission from Japan. I would hope to research her involvement in these organizations and her anti-war action, and create robust, well-cited edits to her article page.Vanuliarya (talk) 01:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Died in two places?

Normally people die in one place. The info box lists she died in Berkeley, CA, and the text says she died in Oakland, CA. I believe that she died in Berkeley, CA.

-== Sunni Muslim? ==
-Why is Kochiyama listed as a Muslim? The article does not say this, and a Maoist would tend to be atheistic. Supporting Osama is not automatically the same as being Muslim.

-:::Notice that I didn't actually change anything. I missed the paragraph about her secretly converting, and it still seems out-of-place, but then her life as a whole seems discordant.
