“In a real sense, all life is interrelated. The agony of the poor impoverishes the rich; the betterment of the poor enriches the rich...Whatever affects one affects all.”

 -- Dr. King, Where Do We Go from Here? 1967

Local Vice President Teddy Espeleta, Alan AhYo of Unit 4526 Alohilani Resort at Waikiki Beach, Zenia “Malu” Adams, and Sui Ling Poy hold the banner in front of the ILWU trolley. On January 15, 2018, members from Oahu and Hawaii Longshore Division marched in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day parade through Waikiki.

HONOLULU — Most people know Martin Luther King, Jr. for his “I have a dream” speech. But Local 142 marches every year on MLK Day to honor the tireless union and organizing work he did to turn those dreams to reality.

The children, family and staff of Local 142 passed out candy attached to messages of Dr. King (pictured above is Matt Arakawa handing out candy and the Longshore Division getting ready to march).

Howzit, Hanabusa!
