Frank Pickard

My Haole Brother Frank Pickard

No white (haole) boarder student survived four years at Maui's Lahainaluna High School until a physically-challenged boy they called "Whitey" broke the barrier. Racial unrest and a war in Southeast Asia are tearing the country apart, and the assassinations of King and Kennedy rip the moral fabric of a nation. In the disruptive mid-1960's, a white boy checks into a dormitory at a boarding school where racial prejudice and violence against haoles have existed for a hundred and thirty-five years. Abe Kelekolio tells the remarkable story of the haole's extraordinary, history-making life, and how the haole, against incredible odds, rose above his scars and found his family in the hills of West Maui. Inspired by a true story.
