There were articles in the New York Times, the Washinton Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times and other cities’ newspapers in February & March,1990 when Obama had just been elected President of Volume of the Harvard Law Review. Those articles mention Hawaii as his place of birth. That was a year before the Promotional booklet was published.
Not all of those newspapers from 26 years ago are still available on the web but links to several still are.
