Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: Honouliuli Designation Recognizes Past, Serves Future Generations

Press Release

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) today praised President Obama for signing a presidential proclamation officially designating the Honouliuli Internment Camp site as a national historic monument.

"The Honouliuli camp is a reminder of a dark time in our nation's history, but it also serves to educate future generations about the importance of standing up during times of conflict to protect civil rights," said Congresswoman Gabbard. "Thanks to President Obama and Secretary Jewell, this structure will be preserved and maintain a place in our past."

President Obama's proclamation will afford Honouliuli National Monument with official visitor programs and services provided by the National Park Service.
