IN A LETTER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, CORA WEISS TALKS ABOUT THE ROLE OF AIRLIFT IN BARACK OBAMA SR.’S ACADEMIC CAREER. In the April 29, 2010 issue of the New York Times Book Review, Cora Weiss, executive director of the African American Students Foundation, added to the account of the airlift of African students mentioned by Barack Obama in his speech at Selma in 2007 and described in Garry Wills’s review of David Remnick’s biography of President Obama, “The Bridge”. She wrote “Barack Obama Sr., who greatly admired Mboya, did not come on the first flight, but he was a member of the airlift generation, arriving here in 1959 with the support of two American women teachers. While he was a student at the University of Hawaii, the A.A.S.F. gave him three grants.”
