In 1966, Hiro was born in Amakusa city’s Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 13, he started loosing his
sight, becoming totally blind at the age of 16.He later heard a message from his uncle in the heaven. “You became blind to encourage
people who are struggling and cannot find meaning in life. You, as a totally blind person exploring many
different things, can inspire these people.”
Hiro started looking at his blindness from a different perspective: not as a negative, but as a positive aspect
of life. He began trying an array of new activities including: the Special Athletes Sports Competition,
climbing Mt. Fuji (the highest mountain in Japan), studying abroad at San Francisco Sate University,
running a full marathon, and sailing (introduced to him by his wife).
Learn about his two attempts (one successful) to be the first blind person to sail across the Pacific.

When she was fired after bringing it to the attention of management, she filed an Equal Pay lawsuit against her employer McKinnon Broadcasting Company, which owns KUSI-TV. This spring at trial, a San Diego Superior Court jury sided with Sandra, ruling the station violated the California Equal Pay Act. Sandra shares how the experience changed her life and connected her to the Women’s Museum of California, where she is now trying to make a difference for women in the workplace.

Sylvia Whitlock: First Female President of a Rotary Club
2023-12-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
In 1987, Whitlock became president of the Rotary Club of Duarte making her the first woman to hold such a position within Rotary International. The chapter’s charter had previously been revoked in 1978 after they violated Rotary International policy by admitting women. The Duarte club filed suit in the California courts claiming that Rotary Clubs are business establishments subject to regulation under California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, a law that bans discrimination based on race, gender, religion or ethnic origin. Rotary International appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. On May 4, 1987, the United States Supreme Court confirmed the Californian decision supporting women, in the case Board of Directors, Rotary International v. Rotary Club of Duarte. After the ruling, Rotary International ended their policy of gender restrictions.
