What Has Changed in the Last Century

All three men were alive when Collier's wrote in 1921; all three were dead within fifteen years — Sanford Ballard Dole in 1926, Charles Fletcher Dole in 1927, Nathan Haskell Dole in 1935. The entry treats Sanford Dole's leadership of the 1893 revolution and the annexation of Hawaii in 1898 as settled achievements; in 1993 Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, a joint resolution apologizing to Native Hawaiians and stating that the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani was illegal and carried out with the participation of U.S. agents. Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959, and the sovereignty movement that grew from that history remains a live political question. The one name Collier's could not have known belongs to Charles Fletcher Dole's son James, who founded the Hawaiian Pineapple Company in 1901 — the ancestor of today's Dole Food Company, the reason most readers now recognize the name at all.
