Agnes Alexander, a teacher, writer, and member of the Bahá’í faith, was a well-known peace advocate who found new ways to support the war effort while still promoting unity and reconciliation. She worked in education and public speaking circles to encourage intercultural understanding and social cooperation among Hawaii’s diverse populations. During the war, she organized community discussions, supported food conservation, and helped mobilize Japanese and Korean women in Honolulu to contribute to wartime service, all while maintaining her commitment to postwar peacebuilding.
