Aminta Rosa Hairston was born Aminta Rosa Reid Green in the City of Panama, Republic of Panama, in Santo Tomas hospital. She was the second child and the first daughter born to Cobert A. Reid and Rosa Green. Her paternal grandparents were Joshua Austin Reid and Fanny McKenly Reid. Her maternal grandparents were Seymour Green and Marcella Anglin Green.
She was born into one of the thousands of families who were part of the Silver Roll in Panama, West Indian workers who had been imported or somehow contracted to work on the Panama Railroad and the Panama Canal.
Aminta, however, was a second generation West Indian Panamanian and attended briefly the West Indian English Schools until she was enrolled in the Public schools (Spanish School as they were known).
She became part of the great wave of migrations that brought many West Indian Panamanians to the United States at age 19 and she never returned to Panama to live.
I remember my sister fondly as always the motherly sybling in our entire family.
