The University of Hawaii- Dept. of Hawaiian Studies 1992-1993, Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael, gave a speech explaining the difference between Spirituality vs. organized religion. He shifted my consciousness from a soulless / secular mindset to a Spiritual divine consciousness. The first book I read by Stokely Carmichael & Charles V. Hamilton was Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America, copyright 1967, Vintage Books, I graduated from Kailua High School 1969. The Hawaiian Studies Lecture series 1992-1993 was open to the public. Russell Means and John Trudell also gave speeches at the Dept. of Hawaiian Studies. Russell Means spoke about AIM in relation to the Hawaiian sovereignty movement which on January 17, 1993 would mark 100 years after the US overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 17, 1893. John Trudell & his band Bad Dog did a concert on campus. And he read some of his poetry.
Peter is your mailing address, Leverett, MA USA, 01054 ? With your permission, I was thinking about mailing information to you, concerning political history of Hawaii.
Those were very different times, weren’t they? Much more robust questioning. Today, the ‘questioning’ seems completely scripted… people are told what they should think and what they should not think. And that is called education.
Anyway, thanks for your comment… and yes, I get mail at that address…. It’s a small town!
I love your essay, thank you.
