DID THE U.S. REALLY OVERTHROW THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM ?
Honolulu Advertiser - October 20, 2005
Bob Gould wrote in his Oct. 14 letter: "The U.S. did not overthrow the monarchy."
Perhaps he missed the first sentence of United States Public Law 103-150, 103d Congress Joint Resolution 19, Nov. 23, 1993:
"To acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the Jan. 17, 1893, overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, and to offer an apology to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the United States for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai`i."
