As a guest of US Civil rights Organizer , Charles Cobb Jr. Kenya's Independence VP Oginga Odinga was once arrested in Atlanta while in Atlanta protesting against Black discrimination together with 17 other SNCC students . This was an embarrassment for the relations between US and Kenya after the state realized that they had locked up Kenya VP . He refused to leave jail until all the black students were released . His wishes were granted .
In 1963, US first Black Chief Justice, Thurgood Marshall,who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Tom Mboya,Oginga Odinga and Jomo Kenyatta, was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, Asian/Indian,Arabs etc . Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, Asian/Indian, Arab second class citizen ,black Kenya 3rd class .
US first Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall was disappointed at the post independence polarization between Nationalists leaders President Jomo Kenyatta and VP Oginga Odinga and assassination of Nationalist Tom Mboya in 1960s . These were his close friends . US civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968 at age 39 and his close friend Kenya independence Nationalists Tom Mboya lost his life in 1969 at the age of 38 . Both Tom Mboya and Dr Martin Luther King had 4 kids each all below age 13 .
One doesn't really need an AC in Nairobi or kiambu (where Mang'u high scp is located) the weather is very favorable, no extreme heat or cold. If you see buildings be it govt, offices, residential or international cooperations with AC's they are merely ornamental. It's like buying dog clothes for your chihuahua hehe.
Truth be told we don't have them in most kenyan schools and institutions because of cost. Super expensive to install and maintain. It gets hot in thika bana
@@Suckerlife lol this type of thinking needs prayers, to a developer building apartments, ac is pocket change. Am sure u have never gotten out of your village that's why u think an ac is expensive hahah
As a Mang'u High School Alumni, truth be told, we might have required AC, haha, Mang'u can get really hot sometimes especially during the afternoons, but as an Architect I think this issue can be solved using better design, more vents and higher ceilings and stuff
@@Suckerlife You don't need AC in Nairobi or most of the upcountry counties. It would only make sense at the Coast, parts of Nyanza or North of Kenya.
Interesting. My neighborhood, Thika, and one of the best schools we have in Kenya. There is 100% chance that among those students you had a talk with, one will be a senior person in Government - President, Minister, Judge, Senator, or Member of Parliament. The best Kenyan President, Mwai Kibaki, attended the school. Tom Mboya, famed for the Kenya Airlift Program also attended the school. The Kenya Airlift program is what prepared Nobel Laureate, Wangari Maathai and inspired Obama Senior.
Kenya's independence constitution was partly written by first US Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga and Tom Mboya . Tom Mboya was a Keynote speaker at the March in Washington in 1963 and close friends of Dr. Martin Luther King, Harry Belafonte ,Andrew Young, Sidney Poitier, Ralph Abernathy and other black civil rights leaders . The Kenyan Nationalists and US Black Civil rights leaders set up resources to help educate Black Kenyans denied higher education opportunities by white before Independence in 1963 . Hence Obama father to Harvard .
After Harvard where Obama father had studied Phd Economics, he worked with Nationalist Tom Mboya who was Minister Of Economic Planning and was responsible for writing Kenya's post independence Economic framework . Obama wrote about his father ,Tom Mboya and their Nilotic Luo peoples( same group as Actress LUPITA NYONGO, Ugandan-British actress SHEILA ATIM of WOMAN KING,LRA rebel JOSEPH KONY against Yoweri Museveni in Uganda comprising at least 20 million spread out in 9 territories including Tanzania ,Kenya, Uganda, DRC Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Lower Egypt/Sudan, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea) .
@@FreeFeetFamily Our life was day to day 😂 if you fail that exam.?Depending on what Subject was and your points,you might not get to move to the Finals.Got 6Asand3Bs.
National schools should be absolutely free, the fact that these schools aren't isn't a good thing its speaks to our government mismanaging the country's national fund
@@Dixonmcdixon the nation, taxes are paid so public amenities are free. There should be free education, free healthcare etc in a country where the government isn't stealing from the national fund
@@kathykishanto8199 so Kenyans should pay taxes so that kids that go to national schools can study for free even though majority of their own kids don’t go to national schools?
@@Dixonmcdixon Kenyans already pay taxes and nothing is getting better and not just national schools, public amenities, public primary schools and loans for uni. Everything.
Kenyans don’t play when it comes to education. You see how the children were so well behaved? There was a report on the news a few years ago where American college students were paying Kenyan student’s to do their assignments and essays. The colleges became suspicious due the high standard of the Kenyans work.
Mangu High School produced the 4th Vice President of Kenya and the 3rd president of Kenya Mwai Kibaki . Best Student at Mangu High School(previous education system 4 years secondary school similar to US 9th to 12th grade and 2 years of High School similar to 2 years of Diploma or Junior College . After Mangu Mwai Kibaki best student at Makerere University Uganda BA economics, history, political science . Best student London School of Economics ,UK, Bsc Public Finance .
Kenya's fifth vice president Prof George Saitoti ,a Mathematician, was also an Alumni of Mangu and attended school in US, and UK Brandeis University Massachusetts ,US BA Math and Economics, Msc Math University of Sussex UK,PHD Math University of Warwick UK . Both Obama father and George Saitoti education was directly or indirectly sponsored by Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya with the help of Black Civil rights leaders including Andrew Young ,Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier and others . Harry Belafonte visited Kenya in 1963 after Independence .
We have the greatest weather in the world we do not and never needed AC as you will learn... AC is not luxury here. Stay a while .... i see you are doing what is familiar in the US visiting westgate , eating a lot of wheat food, bread ,pizza and stuff most kenyans do that like twice a month because we do not consider those food.... stay a while you will learn a lot like we consider you africans in america not.... 'americans'
The weather in the Westlands was amazing. We really enjoyed the local cuisine. We had the privilege of having several home cooked meals that we truly enjoyed! ❤ We will stay a while for sure.
