Hawaii Statehood: August 21, 1959

Hawai'i was admitted as the 50th state of the United States of America on August 21, 1959 by proclamation of Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the U.S. This followed many years of efforts by proponents of statehood to convince the residents of the islands, as well as the citizens of the United States, that Hawai'i should become a state.

Admission Day is a state holiday in Hawai'i, observed on the third Friday in August. The other key dates in the process included passage of the Admissions Act by Congress in March of 1959, signed into law on March 18th by the President, and votes for statehood by the residents of Hawai'i in November of 1950 and June of 1959.

Following Alaska's admission in January, 1959, a new flag with 49 stars was designed and first flew over Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 4, 1959. It would be the official flag for only a year. The 50 star flag became the 27th flag on July 4, 1960, and remains the official flag of the United States.

Just as the overthrow of Queen Lili'uokalani in 1893 and the subsequent annexation of the islands by the United States in 1898 are steeped in controversy, so too is statehood. The document reprinted below was part of an anti-statehood rally held on the grounds of 'Iolani Palace on August 21, 1999, the 40th anniversary of statehood. It's reprinted with permission to provide a look at the other side of the story.
