In January 1893, Queen Lili’uokalani looks out the 2nd floor window of her Honolulu palace and sees 160 US Marines marching down her street. They are there to illegally overthrow her and help nonnative White people seize power over the kingdom. Does she give into the demands of these invaders? Would she risk violence erupting across the islands in order to protect their independence? Listen in to hear how the first sovereign Queen of Hawaii became its last. In the process, you’ll learn about American attempts to destroy Hawaiian culture/identity and the long fight from Hawaiians to preserve it.
