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!
