Today we honor the birthdays of Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X, Yuri Kochiyama and Lorraine Hansberry. All were extremely important in their unyielding fight for self-determination, national liberation and against racism in all its forms. We’re happy to have all of their voices contained somewhere in the Freedom Archives along with other archival materials like Ho Chi Minh’s poetry and former political prisoner and member of the Angola 3 Robert King Wilkerson interviewing Yuri Kochiyama. Below are a couple of the many digitized materials we have featuring Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh.
An essential component of the Freedom Archives is to preserve and spread the wisdom and lessons of our movement elders. Connecting issues of today with historical content is an important task in building strong, sustainable and inter-generational movements. Your financial support plays a key role in making all this work happen, creating greater access for newer generations to use our materials and helping to broaden their vision for a more just future.

I Remember Yuri
I remember Yuri
so kind deferential honorable to me
Oh, Marvin X, we love you so much she would say
every time we met
Marvin, we love you
for a long time didn't know she held Malcolm X in her arms
blood running from veins
didn't know Yuri was there
holding our Black Shining King, Malik el Shabazz
love you Yuri
always and forever.
Yuri
Revolutionary Woman Warrior!
