Stand for Justice: a Video Essay (full-length, final cut)

Note: I altered the title on YouTube because I found YouTube's "Related Videos" results offensive.

News May 14, 2007: Supreme Court case dismissed, plaintiff settled out of court; the admissions policy stands.
----------
News Dec. 5, 2006: Appeals court has ruled in Kamehameha Schools' favor.
----------
A personal account of the 2005 Ku I Ka P o n o march and rally in San Francisco.
----------
Premiered at Pacific Edge Film Festival on 5/27/06; produced for the festival.
----------
I'm not part of any organization, I'm just a Hawaiian living on the mainland. I taped the march for personal reasons, but later heard about Pacific Edge and thought a video about this event and the issue was appropriate and should be seen.

However, if any groups get government money, or sit on government land or in anyway are sponsored or benefit from public coffers, they don't have the private club status.

@curatrix2008 I don't recall finer legal points (been 5 yrs); plaintiff argued the schools' policy of giving Native Hawaiian students priority admission violated a section of the 1866 Civil Rights act intended to protect former slaves from economic/educational discrimination by the majority. Counter-argument was that KS policy serves a different, remedial purpose for a native people who suffered harm from colonization. More info at: ksbe.edu/lawsuit/summary

I Was at The March on O'ahu This Day & What I Seen That Day, I Will Never Forget. 15,000 Hawaiians & Hawaiian Supporters Were All at Iolani Palace Grounds Getting Ready For The March.

The Vibe Was So Intense & Emotional That I Thought, One Wrong Word From a Protester Against Us & There Will be a Riot.

Than I Seen The News & All The Islands Plus Our Bloodlines in The Mainland Was Marching That Day.

I Am Very Proud to Say I Was Apart of it.

Hold on to What You Have left... Imua Kamehameha!!!

@duxmax and they aren't on public lands? Because private schools should/do have the right to have the members of their choice, Like private clubs
