Aloha lā hānau James Baldwin, born on 8/2, 1924: “Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover’s war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real.”

Mahalo @KumuHina for the follow up to the recent @CivilBeat column that suggested that the Hawaiian word pōpolo is pejorative. Kumu Hina provides much needed cultural context. https://t.co/Oh2g1JkiAh
