With video montage by award-winning filmmaker Jon Osaki for the Stop Repeating History campaign. The montage depicts the civil rights struggles of African Americans from slavery into the era of Black Lives Matter, along with corresponding Asian American civil rights challenges from the anti-immigrant legislation through the Japanese American incarceration into the present.

In recognition of Civil Liberties & the Constitution Day, join the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center in discussion about our nation’s ongoing struggles to apply the law under the Constitution and correct historic wrongs, from Japanese American incarceration redress to current Black American reparations claims.

Civil Liberties and the Constitution Day in Hawaii honors individuals committed to protecting the civil rights and liberties of all. The day coincides with the birthday of civil rights icon, Fred Korematsu, who challenged the constitutionality of imprisoning nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II.

This program is co-sponsored by the Hawaii State Bar Association Civic Education Committee, the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center, and the Fred T. Korematsu Professorship for Law and Social Justice.

Webinars are recorded and published for later viewing. Check out the Judiciary History Center’s YouTube channel for more Judiciary History Center videos.
