Faculty Sponsor: Elliott Collo
Angela compiled a historical narrative based on collections of oral stories and other written accounts about the life and times of Waiyaki wa Hinga, a trader in nineteenth century East Africa. Waiyaki is heralded as one of the fathers of the resistance movement against the British and hero during the rise of the Mau Mau.
