A commitment to preparing the next generation of leaders at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> to build equitable communities and jettison racism has been in motion since 2017. The UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT<\/abbr>) Campus Center has been recognized on a national platform for its work in tackling historical and contemporary effects of racism. Starting October 5, TRHT<\/abbr> will host free events to help students, faculty, staff and the community better grasp the center\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

TRHT<\/abbr> Tuesdays, will alternate between inviting participants to presentations or pilina circles,” said UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa TRHT<\/abbr> Director Kaiwipunikauikaw\u0113kiu Lipe<\/strong>. “Pilina which can be translated to association or relationship will be a space where individuals can share personal moʻolelo<\/span> (stories) and listen to others with the hope of re-discovering connections.<\/p>\n

“A core tenet of TRHT<\/abbr> is uprooting the false belief in a hierarchy of human value. How do we do that? By rediscovering our common humanity, by realizing how interdependent we are, and by rebuilding our connections.” <\/p>\n

TRHT<\/abbr> presentations will give participants the opportunity to learn about the center\u2019s framework and how it is being utilized.<\/p>\n
