On July 14, 1789, the French Revolution began with the storming of the Bastille, a symbol of monarchical power. While this event marked a turning point in French history, the revolution's broader legacy lies in the values it helped shape: Freedom, equality and shared belief in human dignity.
These ideals - embodied in the 1789 French Declaration of Human Rights- helped inspire later global milestones such as the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Kenya's national anthem - "Natukae na undugu, amani na uhuru" - and France's national motto - "liberte, egalite, fraternite" (freedom, equality, fraternity) - reflect a common commitment to these universal principles.
