This Friday is Hawaii Statehood day. It is the day that Hawaiians celebrate becoming the 50th state in our country. The declaration took place in 1959 and has been celebrated since 1969 on the third Friday in August. Hawaii’s entrance into the union is still a controversial topic for many Hawaiians, with many fighting for Hawaii to regain its sovereignty. It got me thinking about opposing sides and that we seem to be missing is ‘olu’olu (pronounced “oh-loo oh-loo”) or courtesy to each other.
