The Illegal Overthrow: What They Don't Tell You About Hawaii | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines the history of Hawaii, exploring a New York Times Learning Network report detailing how a group of wealthy American businessmen, missionaries, and sugar planters (including Sanford B. Dole and the Hawaiian League) overthrew Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 with the backing of U.S. Marines. Graham breaks down the parallels between historical corporate land grabs (voter suppression, bayonet constitutions, and military occupation) and modern corporate power, discussing the ongoing fight for Native Hawaiian sovereignty, the role of militarism and tourism, and why understanding imperial history is vital for political awareness.
