See WND story on BHO Sr’s 1962 letter in the Hoover (Stanford) archive to Tom Mboya:

“You know my wife is in Nairobi there and I would really appreciate any help you may give her.”

That letter to Mboya is unfortunately part of the collection of CORA WEISS - at Stanford, it’s the only one that has been released, two paragraphs of which first appeared on Hoover Archivist Musings in 2010:

If you want to see any more of the Mboya correspondence, you need to make an appointment personally with Cora. She’s the one who insisted that the kenyan was part of the first airlift, which both she and Malcolm X met at Idlewild Airport in September 1959, AFTER THE KENYAN WAS ALREADY INSTALLED IN HAWAII.

When forced to recant, she explained it away by saying that although the kenyan did not arrive on the first airlift, he came on a PARALLEL flight.

I wouldn’t trust that woman as far as I could throw her, therefor I don’t believe the additional paragraphs of that letter.

New York, New York, United States September 9. 1959

Prior to the airlift, Kenyan labor leader Tom Mboya had toured the United States and persuaded many universities and colleges to provide scholarships for students from East Africa, mostly Kenya. The African American Students Foundation was founded to raise money to get the students to the United States to use these scholarships. The Foundation organized several airlifts. On the right with his back to the camera is William X. Scheinman who set up the African American Students Foundation. Scheinman was also a contributor. Photo courtesy of Cora Weiss.

I wouldn’t consider that proof of anything, knowing that guys history of “not telling the truth.”
