@Peter,  When I was in Cape Town, I went on an historical tour to understand aparthied and what effect it had on people. As an amatuer photographer, I came across one scene that said it all-- very boldy and silently. There is a court house in Cape Town, and outside it are 2 benches that have been retained as part of history. These benches are marked based on colours of people.  It was not the benches that made me understand the depth of the era then but the fact that the 2 benches were outside a court of law. At that time, even before people could get into a house of justice looking for justice, a grave injustice had already been done! How then would anyone fight for justice? I too admire the people who made the changes happen.

 

As for recognising the kenyan freedom fighters whether for land or fundamental human rights, I hope some programming developer out there will honour these as a project. With a system bent of making everyone a broker of some kind so as to survive, it is very difficult to get any entreprenuer with a historical passion. And there is no financial gain of such a project, but a path of recognition of the people at the time and self discovery.
