An activist and philosopher who protested inequality against women and people of color, Boggs spent decades organizing in Detroit alongside her husband James Boggs, founding programs to supply food and build connections between neighborhoods. In 1992 they founded Detroit Summer, a community movement bringing together people of all races, cultures, and ages to rebuild Detroit through community gardens, murals, and renovated houses—and in 2013 she started the James and Grace Lee Boggs School, a charter school for the kids of Detroit. Boggs believed we must constantly question not just who we are as individuals, but how we relate to our communities, our countries, and the world around us.
