“In August of 1959, Hawaiʻi became a state, and two months later, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stopped by Hawaiʻi for a visit. After that visit, he remarked, ‘As I looked at all of these various faces and various colors mingled together like the waters of the sea, I could only see one face: the face of the future.’ In March of 1965, Dr. King and other marchers from Selma to Montgomery could be seen wearing lei given to them by a Hawaiʻi contingent, who also held a banner that stated, ‘Hawaiʻi knows integration works.’ I would love for those of you on Oʻahu to join us at Magic Island on Monday, Jan. 16, at 8:30 a.m. as we march from Magic Island to Kapiʻolani Park, and come together as various faces and various colors mingled together like the waters of the sea. Bring your family and friends and wear red, and I hope to see you there. Mahalo.” — HSTA President Osa Tui, Jr.
