Hawai‘i Pono‘ī Coalition Presents:

MAI POINA: The Annexation Debate

In 1898, Hawai‘i was annexed by the United States in a most unorthodox and deeply controversial manner.

Citizens of both nations debated the issue then as well as today. Join us for an enlivening debate, ripped from the pages of Hawai‘i’s recent past.

February 23, 24, 25, & 26

All performances begin at 7 p.m., except for a 2 p.m. matinee on February 26.

Admission is free, though seating is limited in the Judiciary History Center courtroom in historic Ali‘iōlani Hale – directly ma kai of ‘Iolani Palace.

FOR RESERVATIONS, CALL 534-8880

Co-sponsored by the Center for Biographical Research and the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, as well as the Judiciary History Center.
