History

[edit]

A Pro Communist Party newspaper, The Record earned a strong reputation for its muckraking investigative journalism. In 1950, it revealed that a much-praised 14-year professor at the University of Hawaii, Shunzo Sakamaki, had been denied tenure simply because he was Japanese - and that no "local product" had ever been promoted to full professorship.[1] Ariyoshi's dogged four-year campaign eventually resulted in the tenureship of Professor Sakamaki.[2][3]

The paper ceased publication in 1958.[1]
