Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn't look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. "I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was," said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history.
Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is a black African and his mother is a white American. This unusual background made him want to know who he was.
