The dark history of the overthrow of Hawaii - Sydney Iaukea

Get to know the story of Queen Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii, and how she fought the US annexation of the islands.

--

On January 16th, 1895, two men arrived at Liliuokalanis door, arrested her, and imprisoned her. The Missionary Party had recently seized power and now confiscated her diaries, ransacked her house, and claimed her lands. Liliuokalani was Hawaiis queen and she ruled through one of the most turbulent periods of its history. Sydney Iaukea shares how the ruler fought the annexation of Hawaii.
