The case began with an accusation of rape by European American naval wife Thalia Massie against five local young men, and ended with the vigilante killers of one of the men, Joseph Kahahawai, having their prison sentences commuted to one hour spent over drinks with the governor. A distinguished panel will discuss the Massie Case and its relevance today, outlining the facts of the case, discussing the ways it affected the subsequent history of Hawai‘i and its various communities, and its contemporary echoes in such issues as racial differences in prison sentencing:panelists:․RaeDeen Keahiolalo-Karasuda, Ph.D., Research Analyst, Kamehameha Schools․John Rosa, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of History, University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa․Carrie Ann Shirota, J.D., Soros Justice Fellow ’09․David Stannard, Ph.D., Professor, American Studies, University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa, author of“Honor Killing: How the Infamous “Massie Affair” Transformed Hawai‘i”Co-SponsorsAfrican American Lawyers Association of Hawai‘i; American Civil Liberties Union of Hawai‘i; Community Alliance on Prisons; Hawai‘iFilipino Lawyers Association; Hawai‘i People’s Fund; Hawai‘i Women Lawyers; Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native HawaiianLaw, William S.
