Apr 30 Tuesday
Please join us for our third Spring presentation of “Short Reads: The Hawaiian Journal of History Author Series” on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, 11am-12pm at Windward Community College, Hale Laʻakea Library 1st Floor atrium. The Hawaiian Historical Society, in partnership with Windward Community College Library, is hosting an in-person event series featuring presentations of historians of Hawaiʻi’s history.
Our April presentation is a hana hou talk by Anita Manning on, “Hawaiʻi and The Great War”
The Great War – now called World War I – began in Europe, but a pivotal event drawing in the United States also was personal to Hawaiʻi. April 1, 1917 the Germans sank the SS AZTEC, not a US Navy vessel, killing 6 Hawaiʻi crew members. The war would be in the community’s everyday life for the duration – in business, schools, the farm, the kitchen [yes, guava jelly], charity, and the bar!
Anita Manning is a historian and educator, with an extensive management background. She was involved in State’s World War I Centennial, has written on the history of Hawai’i science, Hawaiian history, and on museum management. Research topics include involvement of Hawai’i residents in the American Civil War, and a Boy Scout troop for children with Hansen’s Disease. She is Historian for the 120+ year old Honolulu Elks Lodge.
