Hanapepe Massacre
On September 9, 1924, toward the end of a long, drawn-out strike of Filipino sugar workers on Kauai, Hawaii, local police shot dead sixteen strikers in what came to be known later as the Hanapēpē Massacre. As reprehensible as it may appear in retrospect, the incident did not arouse contemporary public censure nor bring into question the legitimacy of the coercive agents or their actions.
