On August 21, 1959, Hawaii was finally admitted to the Union. It is the only state made up entirely of islands.
In promotion of our new database, American History in Video, I'm including a link to a Universal Newsreels clip from August 24, 1959. This clip includes shots of President Eisenhower welcoming Hawaii as the 50th state.
