Ho'oponopono Le Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono, parfois traduit en « remettre les choses en ordre », « rétablir l'équilibre ») est une tradition sociale et spirituelle de repentir et de réconciliation des anciens Hawaïens.

But true freedom was still a century away for those who lived in the black vs. white world leading up to the Civil Rights movement, an effort that began in earnest in the 1950s. The movement for freeing the slaves was a social cause that tore the country apart, resulting in a civil war and a century’s worth of social scarring that needed to heal before the effort could begin again. In 1954 the stage was set with a Supreme Court ruling that made segregation illegal. In the past, movements like this were filled with tension and riddled with conflict.
