History was my worst subject in secondary school, and I quickly dropped the subject when the opportunity presented itself. I just could not stand cramming dates, strange names of places and people.
However, when I had my epiphany seven years ago, I realised that Kenyans did not have a good grasp of their own history and whatever history they may have learned was incomplete and distorted because it was written and told with an agenda to acculturate them. Our history beyond 1895 was conveniently deemed to be uncivilised and savage.
