The message was presented by Wendy Botelho-Cortez, the Governor's Representative for East Hawaii, at a reception held on the UH Hilo campus for the artists, other participants, UH Hilo staff and students, and volunteers involved in The "Poetry and Blues Project".
This captures a moment worth recognizing especially with poet, Quincy Troupe and playwright, essayist, cultural theorist Paul Carter Harrison present amongst other major contributors presented here.
