July 4 an infamous date in Hawaiian history
Gaby Gouveia has a
letter
in the
Maui
News chiding fellow Hawaiians for celebrating
July 4 as an American holiday and excuse to party, and reminding us that "on
July 4, 1894, the illegal Provisional Government of the United States declared
itself to be the Republic of Hawaii."
