Hawaii Stories Of Change

Book-signing events planned this weekend (Dec. 22-23, 2018) on Oahu and Maui. It's in preparation for 2021, the 50th anniversary in of the arrests of 32 people protesting the eviction of native Hawaiians and farmers in Kalama Valley -- an event identified by some as the start of the Hawaiian Renaissance. I was one of those arrested and was asked by some Native Hawaiian leaders to assemble the book about the multi-ethnic movement. There are several pages of photographs, along ...with interviews with Larry Kamakawiwoole, George Cooper, former Gov. John Waihee, Edwina Moanikeala Akaka, Raymond Catania, Lori Treschuk, Clyde Maurice Kalani Ohelo, Rev. Wallace Fukunaga, John Witeck, Dancette Yockman, Liko Martin, Edyson Ching, Lucy Witeck, Gary T. Kubota, Alfred G. Abreu, Darrell Tagalog, Dwight Yoshimoto, Kehau Lee Jackson, Maivan Clech Lam, Reverend and former State Rep. Robert Nakata, Nora Gozon Tagalog, Sally Tagalog, Virgil Demain, Robert Fernandez, Raymond "Buddy" Ako, James Ng, Claire Shimabukuro, Francis Kaholi, Ed Greevy, Cindy Lance, Gwen Kim, and Terrilee Kekoolani and interviews with family members about Mary Whang Choy and Randy Kalahiki.
