Aloha March for Independence in California
Sunday's Aloha March in San Leandro, CA, was
covered by several Bay Area papers and picked up by news
wires.First, the press release sent
out by Koani Foundation got picked up by PRNewswire and Yahoo
News. The March itself was covered
in the Contra Costa Times, and this
AP article appeared in both the San Francisco Chronicle and the San
Jose Mercury News, with the online headline "Hawaiians march for an independent
state." There was a brief mention
in the California State University, Long Beach, Online 49er. Here in Hawaii the
march was covered
briefly by KHNL News 8, as well as other TV
stations.The articles all seem to be
pretty accurate and fair, and get across some important points, including the
emphasis on independence versus federal recognition, and the fact that
citizenship is not based on
race.Mahalo and congratulations to
'Ehu Cardwell and Koani Foundation for organizing the march! Visit 'Ehu's Free Hawaii Blog for more
info.If anyone is aware of other
coverage please let me know.
