1962: The Arizona Memorial is dedicated.
1968: University of Hawai'i students end their 10-day sit-in at Bachman Hall but promise to continue the struggle. They called the sit-in to protest the alleged lack of due process in the Oliver Lee tenure case.
1984: The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the much-debated 1967 Hawaii Land Reform Act in a unanimous and far-reaching ruling. The high court made it clear that the state had broad authority to use its power of eminent domain to force big landowners to sell property to single-family residential lessees who want to buy their lots in fee simple.
1995: R. Alex Anderson, whose love of Hawai'i was played through a hit parade of songs such as "Lovely Hula Hands," "Mele Kalikimaka" and "Haole Hula," dies at the age of 100.
2000: In a broad ruling that represents a new level of judicial involvement in running Hawai'i's schools, federal Judge David Ezra rules that state officials have failed to substantially improve mental health and special-education services for children as he had ordered six years earlier.
2002: Honolulu Mayor Jeremy Harris announces he is withdrawing from the gubernatorial race because he fears he would lose and felt obligated to attend to city business.
