Many Americans think that Hawaiians lived in huts prior to colonization. The US didn't liberate, but in fact de-industrialized Hawai'i. Before 1898, Hawai'i already had mass transit, railroads. The city of Honolulu was lit by nationalized, renewable hydropower before the White House had electricity. #July4#IndependenceDay

Hawaii also had a higher literacy rate than the US, and Europe before colonization, the banning of our culture and language, erasure of our history, and ghettoization. Hawai'ians were also often bi- or trilingual, and world-renowned diplomats. cechambers.com/hawaii-highest-

Kalakaua, one of our leaders, had invented a sub-aquatic vehicle when Jules Verne was dreaming up 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. He was also the first head of a country to circumnavigate the globe.

The sovereign country of Hawaii had Black citizens before the US Civil War. In fact, US slaves that stepped onto Hawaiian soil were considered free. Asians were full citizens in Hawaii as US chained them up to build railroads & West Coast, under threat of mass-lynchings.
