It was the first Sovereignty Sunday, a large rally and concert at Iolani Palace that included the premier of Liko Martin’s new composition, “All Hawaii Stand Together.”
This photo is taken at an odd angle, but I was trying to show the poster taped on the side of the speakers. Some of the crowd is visible on the left, while the performers are on stage on the right. George Helm is visible at the microphone.
If I’m not mistaken, the building in the background is Aliiolani Hale, across King Street, the current location of the Hawaii Supreme Court.
Click on the photo for a larger version (even bigger than normal, so that you can hopefully see at least the large print on the poster).

If you notice the title of the song is “All Hawaii Stand Together’ NOT All Hawaiians Stand Together. That is a distinction which has been lost in the current sovereignty Hu Ha. My family was in Hawaii in 1880 and were subjects of The Kingdom but, so sorry, our white skin disqualifies us from participating. What has been forgotten is that we ALL are immigrants from elsewhere. Some just arrived a bit earlier than others.
