Last month marked the 49th anniversary of the 1968 call-up of members of the Army National Guard’s 29th Infantry Brigade.

On May 13, 1968, a group of several dozen peace activists met trucks of the guardsman along Kalia Road in Waikiki as they were approaching the Army induction center at Fort DeRussy. As the trucks approached, about 20 people stepped off the sidewalk and sat down in the street, blocking traffic.

Police armed with tear gas stood by while other officers dragged protesters out of the road. Several days later, ten of them were arrested and charged with loitering.

I prepared new scans of several photos I took that day, one of which is scheduled to appear in a book to be published this fall by a professor at the University of California at San Diego.
