Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., our most prominent leader of the civil rights movement in America. Once again, the HGEA staff and a large contingent of our members spent that morning marching in events on Oahu, Kauai and Maui and doing community service on Hawaii, to celebrate the legacy and martyrdom of Dr. King, FEBRUARY 2016 remember his efforts to end racial segregation, and promote his ideal of tolerance and diversity. 2 We marched just as Dr. King and tens of thousands of people had done in the 1960s. Since then, our nation has made progress in many areas of inequality. Yet, in recent years, what has emerged is a different form of segregation – one that is based on economics. The divide between rich and poor continues to widen, further pushing working people down into poverty. Incredibly, the middle class is no longer the dominant economic group by number in our country – it has been replaced by the statistically defined “poor.” In this fight for equality, our enemies’ weapons against us are more sophisticated. They create tax laws for their own personal benefit and shelter much of their money offshore where our government has no access to tax them. They push for court decisions like Citizens United, which allows the rich and their corporations to spend unlimited sums of money to elect their far-right friends.

    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

  • 36Th Commencement Exercises Saturday, the Sixteenth of May · Two Thousand Fifteen
    Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences “Learning to Care for Those in Harm’s Way” 36th Commencement Exercises Saturday, the Sixteenth of May · Two Thousand Fifteen The Mace he mace was a weapon of war originating with the loaded club and stone Thammer of primitive man. Although it continued to be used as a weapon through the Middle Ages, during this period it also became symbolic as an ornament representing power. Sergeants-at-Arms, who were guards of kings and other high officials, carried a mace to protect their monarch during processions. By the 14th century, the mace had become more ceremonial in use and was decorated with jewels and precious metals, losing its war-club appearance. Three hundred years later, the mace was used solely as a symbol of authority. The mace is used during sessions of legislative assemblies such as the U.S. House of Representatives, where it is placed to the right of the Speaker. More frequently, maces are seen at university commencements and convocations, exemplifying knowledge as power. The USU mace was a glorious gift from the Honorable Sam Nixon, MD, past chairman of the Board of Regents, and his wife, Elizabeth. The mace was used for the first time at the 1995 commencement ceremony. It is handcrafted in sterling silver and carries the seal of the university along with the emblems of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Public Health Service. The university seal and service emblems are superimposed on the earth’s globe to symbolize the worldwide mission of the university and its graduates.
