Description
At the end of the 1800s, when young American teachers accepted a teaching job in Hawaii, they couldn’t have imagined that they would become involved in the political turmoil soon to sweep over the Kingdom of Hawai‘i. The 1893 Revolution happened literally outside the school’s windows. You will learn about the events through the eyes of the teachers, the young students, as well as the monarchs and the missionaries who overthrew the kingdom. Bonura has four published books surrounding the last Queen of Hawaii and the American teachers who stood by her side in her massive struggle to hold on to her beloved Hawaiian Islands. This lecture highlights Prayer & Politics at their best and worst. Students will know exactly how America got their hands on Hawaii.
