As you may note Jomo Kenyatta was released from jail but still under house arrest, his official release from house arrest was August 17, 1961. Here is a March 1960 article about Tom Mboya which appeared in “Time”

And here is a 1969 article about his death which appeared in “Time”

Also I am including an article which appeared after his widow, Pam Mboya, died Jan 27/09.

thanks for the links, but I don’t quite follow what you are getting at. The information I have added to the thread simply shows that Mboya and obama snr were close, Malcolm X went to Kenya in 1959 and a number of people were instrumental in providing the means for obama snr to go to Hawaii.

The FOI page that relates to the Malcolm X visit - states:

Malcolm X shows pictures of his travels in Africa, urges blacks to fight whites at home, not abroad, and that whites are afraid of what Muslims will do next (9/25/59).

Are you saying Malcolm X was not in Kenya in 1959 - that he never met Mboya or Elizabeth Mooney Kirk?
