#George helm

Two events will be held today to mark the 50th anniversary of a watershed moment that eventually led the U.S. military to stop bombing Kaho’olawe and put the island at the center of the Hawaiian rights movement.

The Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana observes the 50th Anniversary of the landing of the “Kahoʻolawe Nine” at Kūheʻeia on the island of Kahoʻolawe. The observance comes after a press conference on Jan. 4, 2026.

Hawaiian Soul, a narrative short film dedicated to Hawaiian activist and musician George Jarret Helm Jr., will be screened at this month’s “Movie at the Old Prison” on the lawn of the Old Prison. The free event will be held on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m. Director/writer/producer ʻĀina Paikai and executive co-producer Lincoln Wong will be guest speakers.
