Ten years after Hawaii's largest and longest-run WWII POW and incarceration camp was designated as a National Park, per the Proclamation, Honouliuli is a "powerful reminder of the need to protect civil liberties in times of conflict... It is a place to reflect on wartime experiences and recommit ourselves to the pursuit of freedom and justice.” Join us in continuing this legacy.
