Ngenkathi u-Esme Yokooji ebona uMgqibelo oqaphile ukuthi a umcibisholo wawubhekisa amabombo eHawaiii — ebhalwe ngosonhlamvukazi abakhulu abathi “LESI AKUKHO UMGOMO” — wafaka inja yakhe endlini, wahluthulela iminyango wabamba udadewabo oneminyaka engu-9.
UYokooji, 19, wayebambe udadewabo omncane kubhavu emzini wabo oseKailua futhi wazama ukuba namandla. Imizuzu embalwa ebuhlungu, wayecabanga ukuthi bazokufa. Kwaze kwafika umama wakhe ekhaya lapho babona khona kwakuyi-alamu yamanga.
Iphutha labangela ukwanda ukwesaba, kwanyakazisa iHawaii imboni yezokuvakasha futhi wabuza imibuzo mayelana Ubuholi bukaGov. David Ige futhi amathuba okhetho kabusha. Kodwa kwabanye abafana no-Yokooji, bekuwubizo lokuthatha isinyathelo.
Ngemva kokuba ukwesaba kwakhe sekuphelile, wathukuthela “ukuthi iHawaii yayiyizisulu kwasekuqaleni, ukuthi safakwa kuleso simo lapho siyiqembu labantu abangenacala.”
Ukwethuka komcibisholo wangoMgqibelo kwenzeka ezinsukwini ezine ngaphambi komkhosi weminyaka engu-125 we- ukugumbuqelwa koMbuso WaseHawaii. Bangaphezu kuka-1,000 XNUMX abantu okulindeleke ukuthi bamashe ngoLwesithathu besuka eMauna Ala bebheke e-Iolani Palace, lapho osomabhizinisi baseMelika kanye ne-US Marines aphoqe iNdlovukazi uLiliuokalani ukuthi ehle esihlalweni.
UKaukaohu Wahilani ongomunye wabahleli bomcimbi uthe lolu suku luzobe lugcwele izinkulumo nemiboniso. Yize lo mcimbi ugxile ekukhumbuleni ukuketulwa kwezikhali, uthe ukuba khona kwamasosha eHawaii kuhlobene ngokungenakuhlukaniswa nobukoloni.
"Kusukela ngoJanuwari 17, 1893, ukuba khona kwamasosha ase-US akukaze kusuke ogwini lwaseHawaii Nei," esho. 'Kwaba ngamandla ebutho lezempi laseMelika kuphela lapho ukuketulwa kwezikhali kwaphumelela. "
U-Noelani Goodyear–Ka'ōpua, uprofesa eNyuvesi yaseHawaii, uphakathi kwabantu abaningi abahlela ukuhambela le mashi abakholelwa ukuthi iziqhingi zaseHawaii zigcwele i-United States ngokungemthetho. Uthe ukwesatshiswa kwemicibisholo kugcizelela ukuthi kungani kubalulekile ukusabalalisa ulwazi ngomlando weziqhingi.
“Ngezindlela eziningi okwenzeka namuhla kuqinisa kwabaningi bethu ukuthi kungani kubaluleke kangaka ukuqhubeka sifundisa abanye ngeqiniso lomlando wethu, iqiniso lomlando waseHawaii futhi hhayi nje ukucabanga ukuthi kungani ubukhosi baseHawaii bubalulekile ngenxa yamaphutha omlando ayekhona. sizibophezele kodwa ngenxa yezimo eziqhubekayo zokusebenza ezisenza sibe yizisulu zemicibisholo,” kusho yena.
Ubushoshovu Obudala Nobusha
UDkt. Kalama Niheu ungudokotela kanye nomdabu waseHawaii ohlala empumalanga ye-Honolulu. Ubelokhu ekhuluma, ebhala futhi ehlela ezindabeni ezihlobene nokuzimela kwe-Hawaiian kanye ne-Pacific engena-nuclear iminyaka.
Uthe njengoba kubiza kangakanani ukuhlala eHawaii futhi ukuthi abantu badonsa kanzima kangakanani ukukhokhela izidingongqangi, kunzima ukuthi abantu bacabange ngezindaba ezinkulu ezifana ne-imperialism.
“NgoMgqibelo lokho kwashintsha kubantu abaningi,” kusho uNiheu. “Abantu abaningi bayaqaphela ukuthi kungenzeka ngempela uhlobo oluthile lodlame lwenuzi.”
"Sibona leli gagasi elikhulayo labantu kuze kube manje abakaze bahlanganyele ezenzweni zomphakathi kanye nomsebenzi wezobulungiswa asebegxumagxuma futhi bebona ukuthi ... kufanele bakuthathele lokhu nganoma iyiphi indlela."
Abanye sebesithathile isinyathelo. UWill Caron, isishoshovu nombhali, uthe ngokushesha lapho ethola ukuthi usongo lwemicibisholo bekuyi-alamu engamanga ngoMgqibelo ekuseni wagxumela kuFacebook umyalezo.
“Omunye wathi, 'Ingabe kufanele sibhikishe?' Wonke umuntu wayefana nokuthi, 'Sihogo yebo kufanele,' ”kusho yena. Ngokushesha wadala a Umcimbi we-Facebook, "No Nukes, No Excuse." Emahoreni ambalwa nje, inqwaba yabantu ibiphethe izimpawu eduze kwase-Ala Moana Boulevard.
Nakuba u-Caron engumhleli onesipiliyoni, u-Yokooji akayena. Noma kunjalo, ngosuku lwangemva kokwethuka komcibisholo, wathumela i-imeyili uprofesa wakhe, uGoodyear–Ka'ōpua, mayelana nokuhlela ukuhlala ukuze abhikishele ukuba khona kwamasosha eHawaii futhi abonise ubumbano nabantu baseHawaii.
“Ngavele ngazizwa ngikhuthazekile ngempela ukuba ngifinyelele futhi ngibone ukuthi kukhona yini okungenziwa,” kusho yena. “Siyisizukulwane esilandelayo. Sizoyidla ifa le nkinga.”
U-Yokooji ungomunye wabafundi bakaGoodyear–Ka'ōpua. Uprofesa uthe omunye umfundi ovela eGuam wazwakalisa imizwa efanayo ngonyaka odlule lapho iNorth Korea isongela ngokuqhumisa leso siqhingi.
"Ngokufanayo wayezizwa engenakuzisiza futhi ethukuthele futhi yini esingayenza ngaphandle kokuzama ukufundisa nokuqhubeka nokuxoxa indaba yethu," kusho uGoodyear–Ka'ōpua. Uzizwa ucasukile ngakho, uzizwa ungenamandla ngakho, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke uzizwa ushukumiseleka ukuzama ukushintsha izimo esiphila ngaphansi kwazo.”
UGoodyear–Ka'ōpua wethemba ukuthi kuzoba nezingxoxo ezengeziwe mayelana nezempi eHawaii, okuyiyona ehamba phambili kwezomnotho kodwa futhi ewumthombo wokulimala kwemvelo.
“Asisafuni ukuba yizisulu,” kusho yena. “IHawaii yayiyizwe elingathathi hlangothi elaqashelwa izizwe emhlabeni wonke ezazinezivumelwano zokuthula nobungane nezohwebo nezinye izizwe emhlabeni wonke. Ukuba yisisulu kuyethusa.”
UGoodyear–Ka'ōpua uthe akasoze acabanga ukushiya eHawaii naphezu kokukhathazeka kwakhe.
“Abantwabami bazalelwa lapha, iplacenta, iphiko labo, bonke bangcwatshwa lapha, amathambo okhokho akhona, lendawo ingumama wethu, ngukhokho wethu. Isiphetho seHawaii isiphetho sethu ngakho-ke asihambi,” kusho yena.
Indlela okwesabisa ngayo umcibisholo wangoMgqibelo ikhuthaza izishoshovu ezintsha futhi iqinisa ukuzimisela kwabanye ibalulekile, kusho uNiheu.
“Kithina esizizwa sengathi simemeza emoyeni, nakanjani sinabantu abaningi manje abafuna ukubamba iqhaza, abafuna ukukuzwa, abafuna ukuthola into abafuna ukuyenza endaweni engaphephile. nesikhathi esingalindelekile,” kusho yena.
