Hawai’i’s History with Boyd Bond
March 6, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
North Kohala Public Library in Kapaau will present “Daily Life in World War II,” a “talk story” session with North Kohala historian, Boyd D. Bond, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday March 6.
In the discussion, Bond will share stories from the perspective of Hawaii’s civilian community as well as the military presence in Hawaii during the World War II years.
On Monday, April 10, Bond will discuss “Kamehameha IV: Alexander Liholiho and Queen Emma”.
Boyd Bond’s knowledge of Hawaii’s history stems from his academic studies and from a lifetime spent in Hawaii as a 6th generation descendent of early western settlers in Hawaii. Boyd was raised in Hawaii in a sugar plantation family, living on plantations throughout the state.
Of his interest in Hawaiian history, Bond says, “I can’t ever remember a time when I wasn’t immersed in it. Many of the stories of Hawaii’s history are also our family stories.” Bond earned a BA in Hawaiian history from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and went on to earn a Masters Degree in Education.
