Leave Kenya Alone! (Britain's Shameful Hidden Past AKA "The Emergency"). The Mau Mau rebellion, the Kenyan Land and Freedom Army, Jomo Kenyatta, Nairobi, Gikuyu/Kikuyu history. A brief introduction into how Kenya gained independence from England.
Warning: it's unpleasant.
I'm going to outline the stakes for Kenyan independence, the political issues faced by Africans and the W I L D behavior of the British (United Kingdom) colonial governments in African countries.
BACK from my hiatus and ready AF for black history month. My first black history month doing this podcast...
This is a two part series documenting the Kenyan emergency. The second part will be much longer because I am finally back in my office and can record, write, and ruin everyone's day by constantly talking about obscure black history. Yay!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
