'''The Incident:''' A resident of Honolulu, Daria Fand's painting, ''The Last of the Believers'' was supposed to be a part of the city's ''Women of Art'' exhibit at Honolulu Hale in March 2001; but, at the last minute, the painting depicting was banned from the show. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts found the piece to be too controversial and religiously offensive. <P>

'''Results of Incident:''' The ACLU took action, filing a lawsuit against the city stating Fand's painting was wrongly barred from display. One of the secondary goals of the lawsuit, says local ACLU director Brent White, is to "prevent future censorship by this city at future art shows." The court found in Fand's favor and ''The Last of the Believers'' was displayed the following year's ''Women of Art'' exhibit.<P>
