THINK THEYʻLL STILL WANT MCKINLEYʻS NAME ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS?

NO ANNEXATION
Hawaii News Now - November 11, 2024
A new sign was installed at McKinley High School on Monday to address a misconception about Hawaii’s history.
The plaque unveiled by the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (AOHCC) was placed in front of the statue of the school’s namesake to address the misrepresentation of Hawaii’s invalid annexation history.
The statue of President William Mckinley holds a “Treaty of Annexation” document that was never ratified by the United States Senate and portrays an inaccurate history.
Since 2009, AOHCC has advocated for the correction of this portrayal of history around this statue, and in 2020, it called for the installation of this plaque.
“We are grateful for the cooperation of the Hawaii Department of Education and the administration of McKinley High School for supporting the installation of this plaque,” said Julian Ako, past 1st Vice President of the AOHCC who spearheaded this effort.
“We celebrate this achievement in correcting this historical misrepresentation, acknowledging that the plaque is just one means of addressing the broader issue of accurately representing our history.”
The organization said this is ongoing concern underscores the long-standing political and cultural ramifications of this historical distortion.
With advocates speaking up about these inaccuracies about Hawaii’s history, there have also been efforts in the past to change the name of the McKinley High School due to the president’s role in the annexation.

"Only The People Change - A Visit With Kapa`ihi Umebayashi"
Hereʻs a story weʻve long wanted to tell you - the unique and special relationship between Hawaiians and the taro plant which goes back centuries. To do that, we spent an afternoon with Kapa`ihi Umebayashi, a farmer at Kako`o`oiwi on O`ahuʻs beautiful windward side. He explained to us taro is not just a staple food for Hawaiians, but theyʻre actually related to it. Join us in our amazing visit with Kapa`ihi as he explains the ancient ties between Hawaiians, taro and Hawai`iʻs land and what they have to teach all of us if we only listen - Watch It Here

"They Said No - A Visit With Lynette Cruz"
It was back in 1897 after the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government when 98% of all Hawaiian Kingdom Nationals alive at the time signed a monster petition protesting the annexation of Hawai`i to the US. History was made when that petition, carried to the floor of the US Congress, caused the treaty of annexation to fail. Recently the names on those petitions were brought back to Washington, DC in a dramatic, two-day display on the National Mall. Donʻt miss our amazing visit with Lynette Cruz as we walk amongst thousands of those ancestors and discover the powerful message they still have for all of us today - Watch It Here

"Back On The List - A Visit With Leon Siu"
For awhile, Hawai`i was right where it belonged - on a United Nations list of forcibly colonized nations. But in 1959 the US claimed Hawai`i was now the 50th state and Hawai`i was dropped from that list. After over half a century a move is now afoot to relist Hawai`i as an illegally occupied country. Hawaiian Kingdom Foreign Minister Leon Siu gives us an update on this effort and reveals some surprising new details not only about how it can happen but which other countries actually support it. - Watch It Here
