From Hawaii Magazine:
One of Dr. King's most famous and beautiful speeches regarding Hawaii was given during a September 1959 visit before a special session at the Hawaii Legislature:
“I come to you with a great deal of appreciation and great feeling of appreciation, I should say, for what has been accomplished in this beautiful setting and in this beautiful state of our Union.
King found the Islands’ multiethnic population and everyday society to be an inspirational source of “racial harmony” as the struggle of African Americans made headlines across the continental U.S.
Hawaiian flower leis were worn by King and other protestors at the March from Selma to Montgomery. Click the link for photos and more on MLK’s connection with the islands:

Be astonished.
