Today marks 50 years of Hawaii statehood. Surprisingly, the only celebration scheduled is from the Post Office. There's a new stamp issue today and not one, but two, first-day issue stamp cancellation events around Honolulu. No Waikiki parade? Shocking!Not only are there no celebrations, there were protests. Here's a shot from the Advertiser of a group of Native Hawaiians rallying downtown on Friday. Note the Hawaiian flags flown upside down.
