It’s all in this article...but even more interesting is the statement that there is no reference to either Stanley Armour Dunham or the kenyan student amongst the records and papers of Frank Marshall Davis. That kinda fits with my theory that he never actually knew either of them personally.
We have never seen anything that places them in the same location together at any time.

Other than the story told by the woman Weatherly-Williams who maintains she was there on a day in 1971 when Stanley Armour brought zero to visit Davis, and a much later anecdote that zero was seen with Davis as a teenager, selling drugs from a hot-dog cart...

The Dunham/Davis friendship is probably just another fabrication.

That’s interesting; I didn’t realize that in all of FMD’s papers there was not a mention of any of the Dunhams. That makes me wonder why people fabricated a Stanley Armour/FMD buddy-hood.

They must have had a reason for doing that. The only thing I can think of is to set the stage for a “FMD is the father” scenario in case the Kenyan father story unraveled. Two US citizen parents would be preferable to other alternatives, and we discussed that maybe that was the reason for pushing FMD as a father surfaced in the first place. The more evidence was found that Stanley Ann’s and the Kenyan 0bama’s paths never crossed in the early 60s, the more need for providing an alternate father story.

I wonder who paid Gilbertson to make his mockumentary....

Since all the names in Frank's are fictitious, then it is probably unlikely that the girl in his book was even named "Anne". ;-)

On the last page of the chapter it says,

The clouds of World War II hovered and Anne's aunt had already announced she would be returned to her family in Jamaica...

Later I learned that soon after reaching home she was knocked up by a Chinese merchant who paid her several thousand dollars to keep quiet. After V-J day in 1945 she returned to the U.S.


Stanley Ann Dunham was an infant during WWII. ;-)
