Grace Lee Boggs, a longtime activist who was part of the labor, civil rights, black power, women’s rights and environmental justice movements, died Monday at her Detroit home. She was 100.
Boggs and late husband James Boggs were involved in advocacy for decades. She helped organize a 1963 march in Detroit by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the November 1963 Grassroots Leadership Conference in Detroit with Malcom X.
Her death was announced by the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center to Nurture Community Leadership, which she set up after her husband’s 1993 death.
