A KING IN PARADISE is a project that explores the untold journey of Dr. King’s five days in Hawaii during September 1959. He was invited to speak at the Hawaiian State Assembly one year after surviving a stabbing attempt, and a mere three weeks after the Hawaiian Islands achieved statehood. This honor cemented Dr. King as a pioneering figure in the state of Hawaii. This project will explore the impact of Dr. King’s speech on those in attendance and their children. Additionally, this project will also look at the impact of Hawaii on him; consider the Hawaiian leis worn during the 1965 March in Selma as one of the rare times Dr. King draped himself in another’s cultural symbols.
