\"exhibit<\/p>\n

Windward Community College<\/a> and Ka ʻOhana<\/span> O Kalaupapa<\/a> open A Source of Light, Constant and Never Fading<\/em>, a historical exhibit about the strong relationship between the Royal Family of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the people of Kalaupapa, along with other often forgotten chapters of the history of Kalaupapa.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will launch on November 6 at Hale Laʻakea<\/span> Library Learning Commons on the Windward CC<\/abbr> campus and will run through late February.<\/p>\n

A Source of Light, Constant and Never Fading<\/em> uses 12 double-sided panels to feature historical and modern photographs, letters from the early residents of Kalaupapa, quotes from the aliʻi<\/span> and the people of Kalaupapa, mele and other historical events often left out of traditional histories.<\/p>\n

Ka ʻOhana<\/span> O Kalaupapa is a nonprofit organization founded by the residents of Kalaupapa, their family members\/descendants and friends of the community. The ʻohana<\/span> is dedicated to honoring and remembering each of the nearly 8,000 people who were taken from their families and isolated on the Kalaupapa peninsula due to government policies regarding leprosy.<\/p>\n
