Hawai’i’s History with Boyd Bond
April 10, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
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.
