TV Special on 100 Years of Filipinos in Hawaii

Last night, local station KHON2 aired the first part of Emme Tomimbang's "Mabuhay with Aloha — The Hawaii Filipino Experience 1906-2006," a TV special commemorating the 100th anniversary of Filipinos in Hawaii (which is also, incidentally, the 100th anniversary of Filipinos in the U.S.). Part I included coverage of the 1924 Hanapepe Massacre, during which 16 Filipino sugar plantation workers on Kauai were shot dead by police at the end of a long strike. You can catch Part II of the special tonight at 9pm on KHON2 (sorry for posting this so late).
