TRIVIA

Trivia

Based on the September 1931 rape and beating in Honolulu of Thalia Massie, wife of a Navy submarine officer stationed at Pearl Harbor. She accused several young Hawaiian men of the crime, which inflamed existing racial tensions in the islands between whites and native Hawaiians.

Hawaii officially became the fiftieth state on August 21, 1959. It is one of the smallest states, and it is the only state made up entirely of islands.

Princess Luahine (Abigail Wahi ika ahu ula Campbell Kawananakoa) (January 1, 1882 - April 12, 1945) Her father was James Campbell, one of the wealthiest industrialists in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Her mother was part-Hawaiian Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine Bright. She graduated from the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California, in 1900, when she converted from Anglicanism, religion of her parents, to Roman Catholicism. On January 6, 1902, by virtue of her marriage to Prince David La amea Kahalepouli Kawananakoa Pi ikoi, she became known as Princess.
