“Grace Lee Boggs, who has spent much of her life advocating for civil rights and labor rights, became such a noted figure in Detroit’s Black Power movement that people assumed she must be partially black. In some of her FBI files, Boggs, who is Chinese-American, was described as “probably Afro Chinese.” . . . And that’s not the only assumption she’s defied. For almost a century — she turned 100 on June 27th — she’s challenged how people think about their own activism.” Learn more about this remarkable woman here.
