A Tribute to Prof. Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

Dear RU Community,

As we continue to celebrate the life and legacy of the late Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong’o, we write to share this tribute from the Micere Githae Mugo Foundation.

Some of you may remember that Prof. Micere Githae Mugo, who was a comrade of Prof. Ngugi was Thiong’o and others in the 2nd liberation struggle for Kenya, was a Council member here at RU until her demise 2 years ago at Syracuse in New York, where she was a Distinguished Professor.

May this tribute inspire us all to live for something greater than ourselves, and to leave behind rich legacies for future generations, as we live by the spirit of Utu and Ubuntu that our fallen heroes and heroines so dearly lived by.

Utu: Humanness / Humanity

Ubuntu: I am, because we are!
