Do you know who Robert Wilcox is? 👀 On January 7, 1895, the Wilcox Rebellion marked a significant moment in Hawaiian history. Led by Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox, a Native Hawaiian and former member of the legislature of the Kingdom of Hawai’i, this armed revolt aimed to restore Queen Liliʻuokalani to the throne after the Hawaiian Kingdom's overthrow. Wilcox and his supporters, determined to reclaim their sovereignty, faced off against the forces of the Republic of Hawai’i near Diamond Head and Waikīkī, achieving victory on the first day. The following day, the Battle of Mōʻiliʻili took place as the struggle continued in Mōʻiliʻili. Despite their bravery, the rebellion was swiftly suppressed, leading to Wilcox's capture and the arrest of Queen Liliʻuokalani. This battle stands as a powerful symbol of the Hawaiian people's enduring spirit and their ongoing struggle to preserve their culture and sovereignty. ✊ 📣 EAHOU Fest 2024 🌀 is happening from September 12-14! Let’s gather, talk story, and connect to the history of this place and the kūpuna who were part of the movement here in Mōʻiliʻili many makahiki ago. We want you to be a part of this transformative 3 day event for just $18.93! 🎟️ Get your tickets now at the link in our bio 🔗 🤔 If you didn’t know this, share this post with your ‘ohana and friends—let’s see if they know it either!
