Frank marshall Davis

Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.
Frank Marshall Davis (1905-1987), was a journalist, labor activist, poet, ex-patriate, and resident of Hawaii for almost forty years.
Davis was born in Arkansas City Kansas and moved to Hawaii where he champianed the native people.
Quaker agiator pointed me to this artical about Davis and his life in Hawaii.
the point of the comment on my page was that Davis was a communist so Obama was also.
I had supposed that Soon Obama would be named a Muslin but never thought he would be accused of being a communist.
I think that HOUSE UN-AMERICAN ACTIVIST ORGANIZATION is the same that ruined or tried to ruin so many peoples lives in the 50's.
if you wish you can read about this american negro by clicking on the title of this post.A poem by Davis on hawaii
Now that it was uncivilized

To kill by spear or club

Guns became a symbol of progress:

and at the end of Part II he writes,

The missionaries came with Bibles

The heathen natives had the land

Now the natives are no longer heathen,

They have the Bible and Jesus

and in this equitable trade ‑‑

This oh so reasonable swap

The missionaries got the land.
