Explanation:
[STC00440] Hawaii’s official holiday, Statehood Day, is celebrated every year on the third Friday of August. On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th and final state to join the United States. Statehood Day was first known as Admission Day when it was first observed in Hawaii ten years after the state was admitted into the union. Although a vast majority of Hawaiians originally voted for the referendum for statehood, in recent years there has been a growing sovereignty movement, which aims to recognize what many native Hawaiians consider an illegal overthrow by the U.S. government of the Hawaiian monarchy. Therefore, there won’t be many official celebrations of the holiday taking place today, but all public institutions, including schools and universities, will continue to be closed.
