Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital (Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children) in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he spent his childhood; he also spent some time in Indonesia from 1967 to mid1971. He later studied political science at Columbia University in New York City and law at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His mother, Ann Dunham, was born in Wichita, Kansas, and was of mostly English ancestry. His father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Kenya. Obama's parents met in 1960 in a Russian class at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where his father was a foreign student on scholarship. The couple married in Wailuku on Maui on February 2, 1961. Prior to his election as President in 2008, Obama had previously served as a community organizer, Senator for Illinois, and a member of the Illinois State Senate. Obama was introduced to the world during the 2004 Democratic National Convention, when he gave a keynote speech that aspired to post-partisan solutions. Obama is a Juris Doctor (J.D.); he graduated Doctor of Law (J.D.) from Harvard in 1991. In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, and president of the journal in his second year. During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as an associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990. After J.D. magna cum laude in 1991, he returned to Chicago. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gained national media attention and led to a publishing contract and advance for a book about race relations, which evolved into a personal memoir.
