THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER, Hawaii, March 12, 1959
* Hawaii statehood
* Joins the Union
See the photo for this very dramatic & displayable front page.
Nearly half of the front page is taken up with: "Congress Says YES ! " in huge letters dropped out of a large red box, above which is printed: "Statehood Extra". The banner headline beneath the box is: "Hawaii To Become 50th State" with other related subheads. One of the front page photos shows Hawaii politicians celebrating in Washington, D.C.
The complete first section (of 2) with ten pages, good condition. Nice for display.
background: The March 12, 1959, issue of The Honolulu Advertiser marked a historic moment with bold headlines proclaiming “Congress Says YES!” and “Hawaii to Become 50th State,” celebrating the U.S. Congress’s approval of Hawaii’s statehood. The front page featured dramatic red banners and jubilant imagery, including photographs of Hawaiian delegates and citizens celebrating in Washington, D.C., capturing the excitement and pride of the islands. This edition, now a collector’s item, reflected the culmination of decades-long efforts by Hawaiians to join the Union, and its publication symbolized both political triumph and cultural transition.
