I have a question and I hope it doesn’t sound racist to ask; Were hospitals in Hawaii segregated in 1961? I’m just curious because I was watching a PBS special a few years back about segragated hospitals and how they would put the mother in there if the baby was 1/8 (or in some cases “1 drop” black blood) black. So would Obama have been in a different ward/hospital with his father being from Kenya?
I know Hawaii is not as segregated as other parts of the US, so that’s why I even wonder if it were an issue there. But just crossed my mind from watching that show.
More good questions.
I don’t know.
Hopefully some of our H freepers can help us with the birth certificate.
Did Hawaii use the word African to describe a newborn’s father’s race in 1961?
