MLK Day got me thinking. What was Hawaii like before all the Civil rights laws were pass back in 1968 (?).
I'm not educated enough on this.
I assume the civil rights movment was for all, not just African-Americans. That would inlcude Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc, etc.
So in Hawaii, where the "minority" was (is) the majority, how was it? Meaning were the Japanese (for example) allow to vote? What about Japanese living on the mainland? Was the experience different between mainland and Hawaii?
Voting is the only thing that came to mind, but I hope you can educate me on what was it like in Hawaii for "minorities" before the civil rights movement.
Thanks,
