Posted: January 25, 2018 | Author: Alice Kim | Filed under: Articles, Day in History, Kuhio, Teasers |
This month in history — January 1904 — Hawaii congressional delegate Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole said policemen in Washington D.C. hit him from behind, tackled him to ground, and arrested him for “disorderly conduct” in a billiard saloon. But they said the Hawaiian prince was arguing with a man, they told him to quiet down, and he told them he was a congressional delegate and acted abusively.
Which side do you believe? Read more about it in “Kuhio’s Account of His Arrest.”
