Mary Pitman Ailau

 * ... that Mary Pitman Ailau and her brother Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman (pictured) were educated at a Hilo school with other biracial students of Hawaiian descent?
 * ALT1:... that Mary Pitman Ailau (pictured) served as maid-of-honor at the royal wedding of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma?
 * ALT2:... that Mary Pitman Ailau (pictured) was one of the first to visit Hawaiian King Kalākaua when he visited New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1875 because she was his distant cousin?
 * Reviewed: Lucius Neratius Marcellus
 * Comment: The first picture goes with the first hook. The second image goes with the second and third hooks. I prefer the first one since it uses a high quality image of Mary and her brother Henry which is a featured article.

To the promoter: Unless anyone opposes, please promote the first hook with higher quality painting of the two Pitman siblings. Maybe at a later date since this first part of the month has been filled with a lot of Hawaiian topic DYKs. Thanks.KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I was about to promote the original hook but could not find any mention in the article of some of the biracial students being of European descent. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
