Visions in the Dark: The Life of Pinky Thompson

Pinky Thompson thought bigger than himself and further than the single cause at hand. He fought hard against the stigma of an inferior Native Hawaiian. A multifaceted cultural identity was the key to their ultimate survival. He championed a health care system, created invaluable educational programs and strengthened the pride of Native Hawaiians. He envisioned an ideal Hawaii that no one else saw and fought for it from the battle fields of Normandy, down the steps of congress, to his humble home in Niu valley.
