“History Beneath Our Feet – A Visit With Dr. Baron Ching”
Hawaiian history hooks Baron Ching, a doctor of internal medicine by training.
With not a drop of Hawaiian blood in him, Baron is nevertheless both a direct descendant of a Hawaiian Kingdom national and an expert in the history of Hawai`i’s illegal overthrow.
We met up with Baron at Thomas Square in Honolulu during the annual Ka La Ho`iho`i Ea, or Sovereignty Restoration Day ceremonies.
He not only recounts events that occurred with the British leading up to Hawai`i’s sovereignty being temporarily taken, but he also reveals the fascinating things that happened at the very place we were standing!
Movingly, he tells of his Chinese great grandfather, one of many non-Hawaiians who came to `Iolani Palace at the time of the US overthrow, arriving with his weapons, ready to defend the Queen.
Don’t miss our visit with Baron, one of those rare individuals who make history come alive. And we promise you’ll be as captivated as we were when Baron describes the day he found his great grandfather’s signature on the Ku`e Petitions.
