Mau Mau Field Diary: Dedan Kimathi Memorial

On 21st October 1956, in the forests of Tetu, Nyeri, Dedan Kimathi was shot and captured. Four months later, on 18th February 1957, Kimathi was executed and buried in an unmarked grave. Today, a memorial stands at the site where Kimathi was shot; the location of his burial still unknown, this memorial is considered by some to be his grave. For many Mau Mau veterans, family members, local communities and political figures, Kimathi’s memorial site has become an important area to pay respects to the struggle fought for land and freedom. In this video, Anthony Maina of Nyeri Museums speaks to us about the memorial, Dedan Kimathi Day, and the importance of remembering the history of your country. - The legacy of British colonial history in Kenya has largely been wiped from national memory in both Kenya and the UK, in part due to the systematic destruction of colonial files by the British, known as Operation Legacy. As a result, the vast majority of people do not know where camps like Mweru or Aguthi were, what they looked like or - for some generations - that they ever existed. The Museum of British Colonialism believes the absence of easily accessible information on these camps has led to a troubling erasure of history, the repercussions of which are keenly felt in both the UK and Kenya. We recently took a field research trip to locate, record, and better understand several of these detention camps.
