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.

Date: Monday, Jan. 30, 2023

Our conversation this year will address Diversity in Our Community, featuring the Honorable Rebecca A. Copeland (District Family Court Judge, First Circuit Court), the Honorable Lisa M. Ginoza (Chief Judge, Intermediate Court of Appeals), and Dr. Akiemi Glenn (Founder and Executive Director, Pōpolo Project).

This program is co-sponsored by the Hawaiʻi State Bar Association Civic Education Committee.
