Description
A black and white photograph showing a smiling young Hawaiian girl, who is Dodie Bacon Browne, with a newspaper announcing the statehood of Hawaii on March 22 1959.
This photograph shows that statehood was recognised as an im-portant moment by even a young girl. On the day the official Statehood was announced, it was celebrated all over Hawaii and its effect was seen nationwide as schools were dismissed, shops closed and government offices shut down. This picture encapsulates the elation felt after the long struggle of statehood had finally come. It took over six decades of campaigning and petitioning the US government before it became an official US state.
