I think this would be a good way to write the article without copyvio. Let me know what you think:
Vicki Garvin (1915-2007) was an activist.[1] She joined the Communist Party in 1947.[1] In the 1950s she worked as vice president of the National Negro Labor Council and as executive secretary in the council's New York chapter.[2] She moved to Africa in the late 1950s, and while there helped organize Malcolm X's itinerary while he was in Ghana.[2][3] From 1964 to 1971 she taught English in China.[2] She returned to the United States in the 1970s, where she was part of rallies in support of some prisoners (for example, Mumia Abu Jamal) and did public speaking.[2]
