In 2004 AARP joined the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the U.S. Library of
Congress in collecting and preserving personal accounts of America’s ongoing struggle to fulfill its promise of equality for
all. In this effort, AARP-Hawaii chose to collect stories from a diverse group of individuals whose unique voices and activism
helped shape Hawaii’s civil rights experience. When Hawaii became the 50th state in 1958, the basic question of rights was
already a long standing concern that included the issues of workers, women, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, people
of different faiths, ethnicities and native Hawaiians.
Through Hawaii’s Voices of Civil Rights, Hawaii Intergenerational Network joined AARP-Hawaii as a partner in this project.
Using a portion of a grant from Okumura Family Foundation, HIN helped to create the video and to use its content as a
starting point for intergenerational dialogues. In 2006, the Voices of Civil Rights dvd was given to every high school as a
primary resource for teachers.
This dvd offers us the opportunity to experience Hawaii’s unique civil rights history through the sage eyes of some who were
there. From World War II – through the turbulent ‘50’s and ‘60’s – and even today - these individuals championed causes that
changed life in Hawaii. Their activism connected directly to their knowledge of the civil rights movement in America and especially
to the black experience.
