There is only one Quonset hut facility standing, and it is the footprint of segregated housing for military men of African descent in Hawaii supporting the Naval supply Center during WWII. There were thousands of Black men in the islands after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They had separate USO clubs for recreation. Even in the downtown Honolulu red district, black and white men stood in separate lines to enter the houses of prostitution, or clubs of entertainment. This history is well documented and archived.
