In January 1893, Queen Lili’uokalani looks out the 2nd floor window of her Honolulu palace and sees 160 US Marines marching down her street. They are there to illegally overthrow her and help nonnative White people seize power over the kingdom.  Does she give into the demands of these invaders? Would she risk violence erupting across the islands in order to protect their independence? Listen in to hear how the first sovereign Queen of Hawaii became its last. In the process, you’ll learn about American attempts to destroy Hawaiian culture/identity and the long fight from Hawaiians to preserve it.

The Young Lords were a Chicago street gang turned radical political activists. The NY chapter fought for universal health care, working public services, and they tackled poverty in East Harlem. Along the way these young Puerto Rican/Black/Latino/a dissenters collaborated with the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots, STAR and tons of other progressive groups from the era. Listen in to hear the Young Lords steal an x-ray truck to combat TB, takeover a failing hospital, burn giant piles of garbage and fight for Latino/a civil rights.
