It needed to be in the Times, yes! The one thing I take issue with is the idea of her unlikely friendship with Malcolm X. This statement draws on the idea that there was not dialogue, connection, debate and regard between Black Americans and Asian Americans - and/or among multiple peer people of color groups - just because such connections have often been marginalized in, or erased from, the popular historical record does not mean they were not there. They were. And the statement also draws on the idea that it would be unlikely for a woman like Ms. Kochiyama and a man like Malcolm to be friends. Again, not true. The binaries, categories and narratives projected from a dominant discourse do not reflect the subjective truths of the people it seeks to define or erase.
