Hawai i, the birthplace of our 44th president, Barack Obama. In Obamaland: Who Is Barack Obama? local broadcasting fixture Ron Jacobs explores the dynamics of the nation s greatest melting pot and offers reflections, observations and insights into the man that would inspire millions in this country and the world, to dream and to believe that all things are possible. This story tells of a young Barack Obama; of his heritage borne of a union between a man of color from Kenya and a Caucasian woman from Kansas; of his formative years enrolled in Hawai i s schools, including that venerable institution of island education, Punahou; the everlasting influence of his grandparents, the Dunham s; and of the places, sights, sounds and smells of these islands that would shape and mold him. Chicago and its gritty history of roughand- tumble hardball politics may have forged him into a man, but Honolulu (and to a greater degree, Hawai i); its confluence of cultures, imbued with the timeless Hawaiian values of ohana (family) and aloha (love, compassion), allowed young Barack to be a boy and would instill in him, the sense of respect, inclusion and compassion he carries with him to this day. Visit the places that young Barack frequented. Walk the streets where he s lived. Share in the stories and reflections of the people, famous and not so famous, who knew him or met him. Obamaland is Hawai i, and Hawai i is the birthplace of the 44th President of the United States of America.
