I found this old yellowed newspaper clipping while sorting through another batch of ancient files this week. The photo, and an accompanying article without byline, appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser on January 14, 1978.

According to the Advertiser:

Two demonstrators using the opening of the Korean Trade Fair to state a protest for human rights in South Korea were evicted from the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Security police removed Ian Lind and Mike Sulivan after the two walked into a trade exhibit hall and unfurled their signs.

The two, representing the American Friends Service Committee and the Hawaii Committee for a Free South Korea, used the occasion to demonstrate their support for human and labor rights in South Korea.

The published caption had us reversed, identifying me as the protester in the center.

I have to admit that I have no recollection of this particular event. And when I sent a copy over to Mike Sulivan, now living in Hilo, he also drew a blank.

But the Advertiser seems to have given a pretty fair account.

Just click on the photo to see a larger version, as well as the accompanying story.
