"When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible." —Jomo Kenyatta Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first Prime Minister and later its first President, was one of the central figures in the struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Born in the late 19th century, he lived through a period when European imperial expansion reshaped much of Africa’s political, economic, and cultural systems. The quote often attributed to Kenyatta reflects a wider historical debate about the role of missionaries during the colonial era. Across many parts of Africa, Christian missions introduced literacy, schools, and new religious traditions. At the same time, missionary activity often arrived alongside expanding European control of land, trade, and governance. For many communities, this created a complicated legacy in which education and religion spread at the same time that political autonomy and land ownership were being challenged. Kenyatta himself was deeply engaged in these questions. He studied in Britain, wrote about Kikuyu traditions and land rights, and became an important voice arguing that African societies should define their own futures rather than be governed by outside powers. His political leadership later helped guide Kenya through the final years of colonial rule and into independence in 1963.

October 7, 1955: Ella Fitzgerald in a Houston jail cell for singing to an integrated audience. —On 7th October, 1955,Ella Fitzgerald, Georgina Henry, Illinois Jacquet, Dizzy Gillespie, and jazz impresario Norman Granz were arrested for “shooting dice” in Fitzgerald’s dressing room at the Music Hall in Houston, TX. Houston-born Jacquet had wanted to integrate audiences ever since he had played in Los Angeles in 1944 for a benefit organized by Granz (to raise money for the defendants in the Zoot Suit Riots). “I seem to excel on my instrument when I play for an integrated audience,” the saxophonist said. “I love Houston,”Jacquet said after the October concert. “This is where I went to school. This is where I learned everything I know. I was fed up with coming to Houston and playing to a segregated audience. I felt if I didn’t do anything about segregation in my hometown, I would regret it.” Granz arranged the show, and the contract was explicitly worded that the show would be integrated. After the first set, the Houston vice squad stormed into Fitzgerald’s dressing room, guns drawn with the intention of stopping a second set. Fitzgerald and Henry were quietly drinking coffee, but Gillespie and Jacquet were playing dice in the corner, providing the police with an excuse for an arrest. Granz entered the room after hearing the police. He later claimed he saw an officer try to plant drugs in the bathroom. “I’m watching you,” Granz said, and the cop pointed his gun at Granz and threatened to shoot him. The group was met by photographers when they arrived at the jail, tipped off by the cops, and all were booked and fined ($10) before being released. Granz and his musicians returned to perform a second set.
