Phi Beta Kappa at Univ. of Hawaii as an Exchange Student from Kenya
That's right. Barack Obama, Sr., father of Barack Obama, came to the U.S. in 1959 at age 23. He graduated in three years at the top of his class. He was rather well liked and the first African to attend the University of Hawaii. He helped organize the International Students Association there and became its first president. He met and married a fellow student, Ann Dunham, from Wichita, Kansas.
Their son, also Barack, was born in 1961. Sadly, both father and mother (Ann) are deceased. Yet the son will likely be our next President.
