Ann gave her daughter, who was born in 1970, dolls of every hue: “A pretty black girl with braids, an Inuit, Sacagawea, a little Dutch boy with clogs,” says Soetoro-Ng, laughing. “It was like the United Nations.”
In 1971, when Obama was 10, Ann sent him back to Hawaii to live with her parents and attend Punahou, an élite prep school that he’d gotten into on a scholarship with his grandparents’ help.
A year later, Ann followed Obama back to Hawaii, as promised, taking her daughter but leaving her husband behind. She enrolled in a master’s program at the University of Hawaii to study the anthropology of Indonesia.
Which is correct? (Depends upon who wrote the wiki entry, I guess.)
>>>Ann gave her daughter, who was born in 1970, dolls of every hue
Well, I too, had a doll collection growing up. I didn’t have an identity collection though :)
