    She was all for the Civil Rights Movement and since she wanted to do something about it she decided to start an Institue for Multi-Racial Justice. “I combined colonialism together with racism and decided that I wanted to do something about it. So the rest of my life in many ways has been devoted to combating racism. One of the ways to do that, I thought, was through building alliances between different peoples of color. That’s why, in 1997, I started the Institute for MultiRacial Justice with my friend Phil Hutchings, an African American man who was chairman of the Student” (CHICANA SPECTATORS AND MEDIAMAKERS, p27-28). Not only was she a part of this movement she was also able to contribute to many magazines to publish journals on those current events and social issues. People sometimes don't see this as an action of activism, but it is because she is able to educate many people with her readings.
