This article tells about the African presence in Hawaii during earlier times. I had always felt that the people of Hawaii descended from Africans and while researching for a piece that I am doing, I stumbled across this article and wanted to share it with the community. I'm pretty sure that most Hawaiians of today do not embraced their African heritage and probably aren't aware of it due to the incursion and seizure by the United States during the 1800's and an earlier connection with English colonizers and missionaries.. The link below is full of material regarding the Africans of Hawaii. Please do yourself a favor and read it.. You'll be impressed, amazed and somewhat disappointed.
