You're being sarcastic, right? This was in 1961, you know, AND the baby was mulatto.
That's supposely not the way the "story" goes.....
From what I've read...she went to Kenya to visit...maybe in the 8th month or so of pregnancy and decided to return...and the airline wouldn't let her come back, secondary to her advanced pregnancy. The airline not wanting to risk an "inflight" birth.
Sounded pretty reasonable to me....If never heard your version at all.
FWIW-
Right on the point. Today's TV generation have no clue how much a shame it was to deliver a mixed baby. So for them now living and gone to school with integration rules, it's not a big deal, so screw the Constitution. BTW, Constitution, what's that, hmmm!!!
