Description
Born Kamau Wa Ngengi at Ng'enda village, Gatundu Division, Kiambu in 1889 to Muigai and Wambui, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta served as the first Prime Minister (1963-1964) and President (1964-1978) of Kenya. His date of birth is thought to be sometime in the early mid 1890s.
In 1914, he was baptized a Christian and given the name John Peter which he changed to Johnstone. He again later changed his name to Jomo in 1938. He adopted the name of Jomo Kenyatta taking his first name from the Kikuyu word for "burning spear" and his last name from the bead belt that he often wore.

As a youth I was drawn to my I- story, as a black man in the world. In that search I learned about Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, The Burning Spear. The first President of Kenya. I was elevated by his strength, determination and love of his county and the fight from colonialism for it's freedom. I asked brotha Anthony to create a work of this great world leader. I am tearfully amazed at the results of that request. That you Anthony for this tribute to a man that changed the face of Africa through his leadership and vision. Unity, O.
