Madelyn Dunham, Barack Obama’s grandmother, died today in Hawaii, just one day before she would have, in all likelihood, seen her grandson be elected the first black president of the United States. The 86-year-old was cared for by Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s half-sister, while Obama has been campaigning.
