Kenya: Monday, January 19th 2015 was a public holiday in the United States. My ten-year-old son and I were browsing through videos of the civil rights movement as I sought to explain the essence of Martin Luther King day, when I suddenly decided to switch to Kenyan news.
The images we saw on various Kenyan news channels left me wondering whether I should continue showing him the black and white footage of the 1963 Children’s march in Birmingham, Alabama or just let him watch the January 19, 2015 police brutality against children at Langata Road Primary School.
