In 1963, Thurgood Marshall was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, asian/indian,arabs etc . Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, asian/indian, arab second class citizen ,black kenya 3rd class .

US first Black Chief Justice responsible for writing part of Kenya’s independence constitution, Thurgood Marshall was disappointed at the post-independence polarization between Kenya Nationalists leaders President Jomo Kenyatta and VP Oginga Odinga and assassination of Nationalist Tom Mboya in 1960s . These were his close friends .

They set up resources to help educate Black Kenyans denied higher education opportunities by white before Independence hence Obama father to Harvard . After Harvard where he had studied Phd Economics, Obama father worked with Nationalist Tom Mboya who was Minister Of Economic Planning and was responsible for writing Kenya's post independence Economic framework . Obama wrote about his father ,Tom Mboya and their Luo peoples .

US civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968 at age 39 and his close friend Kenya independence Nationalists Tom Mboya lost his life in 1969 at the age of 38 . Both Tom Mboya and Dr Martin Luther King had 4 kids each all below age 13 .

Other Assimilated groups in Kenya and Tanzania included Luo-Wasweta(Abasweta),Luo-Kavirondo(Abarondo),Luo-Kanjuro(Abanjuro),Luo-Mikiria(Abakiria),Luo-Basi(Ababasi),Luo-Mugirango(Abagirango) . The Kavirondo were the original occupants of the L.Victoria region in Western Kenya before Luo occupation and assimilation .

The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito under Bunyoro Kitara and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .

Kenya Luo proper(Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya, VP Oginga Odinga ,OBAMA ,LUPITA NYONGO ),Luo-Suba .Tanzania Luo proper, Luo-Suba,Luo-Wasweta,Luo-Mukisero .

Uganda Luo-Langi(President Milton Obote, Army chief of staff Gen David Oyite Ojok, Gen Smith Acak Opon, Lt Col John Charles Ogole, zanzibar liberator John Gideon Okello , united Tanganyika+Zanzibar=Tanzania) .

Uganda Luo-Acholi(Presidents Gen Tito Okello and Army Commander Gen Bazillio Olara Okello,Airforce Director,Maj Alfred Otto, Major Stephen Abili,Airforce pilots Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Eric Odwar etc) .

Jomo Kenyatta had previously organized under the Kikuyu Central Association(KCA) also established in 1921 like the Young Kavirondo Association(YKA) . YKA actively mobilized the Kavirondo Luo and Kavirondo Abaluhya into a meeting in Nyahera on July 8 1922 with Governor Sir Edward Northey . At least 10,000 people were in Attendance from the greater western region as efforts to resist British Colonial rule in the continent of Africa expanded .

The memorandum to the Colonial government had previously been drafted in 1922 in Lundha Gem .

Provincial Commissioner HR Tate together with representatives of the Colonial government and representatives of the Luo and Luhya participated in a meeting to address the demands of the Young Kavirondo Association in 1922 . The Provincial Commissioner HR Tate considered the Luo demands disrespectful . But the secretary Benjamin Owuor of YKA continued to push for a meeting with the governor .

The government accepted all the demands in the memorandum by the Luo except two . They refused to grant independence and end Kenya's status as a crown colony . They refused to offer title deeds to the local populations .

The socio-politically conscious founder Members of Young Kavirondo Association were members of the first class that had joined Maseno school in 1907 under JJ Willis . The Association were part of anti-colonial movements in Kenya that was later promoted by Luo-Union in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru etc and Luo Thrift across East Africa under Nationalists Oginga Odinga and Tom Mboya of Kenya and Uganda's First president Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) .

The founders of Young Kavirondo Association were trainee teachers in Maseno in 1921 . They included Jonathan Okwirri of Uyoma as Chairman . Simeon Nyende of Gem was treasurer . Benjamin Owuor of Seme was secretary . They opposed Kenya's colonization, resisted the Kipande ID system, opposed increases in the hut tax and pushed for the re-introduction of paramount chiefs .

By the second world war WWII the Luo anti-colonial sentiment spread across Kenya and East and Central Africa .The British imposed further taxes on their colonies seeking to raise resources due to the aftermath of the war . These actions by the colonial government prompted Young Kavirondo groups opposition to White rule through the clarion call of "Piny Owacho"-the people have spoken .

The Luo also participated in Modern Liberation movements in the continent including in Sudan alongside the Nilotic Nuer and Dinka .

In Ethiopia the Luo-Anywaa in Gambella . In Uganda including first Independent Uganda president Milton Obote(There is Obote Road in Kisumu) who was friends with Kenya Nationalist Oginga Odinga . They both attended Uganda's Makerere University and were founders of Kenya's Independence party .

In Congo DRC the Luo-Alur fought alongside Laurent Kabila in Eastern Congo against Mobutu Sese Seko . And the Luo of Tanzania participated in Independence movements first against the Germans then the British .

Most recently also Asian Japanese and Chinese investors are present in Kisumu and to a lesser extent Kenyan Arabs . Other Kenyan ethnic groups including the neighboring Kisii(Abagusii), Kuria(Abakuria) and Luhya(Abaluhya) are domiciled in Kisumu .

In addition to Kisumu, and other Kenya, Tanzania towns like Mwanza, Musoma, Arusha, Dar es Salaam ,Dodoma etc the Nilotic Luo are found in several urban areas in EAST,CENTRAL,NORTH-EAST AFRICA . These include Jinja, Kampala, Tororo, Gulu in Uganda, Khartoum and Juba in Sudan, Bunia, Beni, Butembo in DRC Congo, Gambella Ethiopia, Cairo Egypt etc . The largest population of Kenya Luo in Uganda is in Pakwach .

The Luo are diasporic(at least 20-25million spread out) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups .

The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .

The groups around Lake Victoria were historically referenced as Kavirondo Nilotics or the Luo and Kavirondo Bantus or the Luhya(abaluhya), Kuria(abakuria), Kisii(abagusii) and the smaller known Kavirondo(abakavirondo) who were eventually assimilated by the Luo . The kavirondo preceded other Bantu groups in the region . The Luo also assimilated the Bantu Suba, linguistically, socially, culturally and through intermarriages over centuries .

Historically the Nilotic Luo, led by skilled warriors such as Owiny and Lwanda Magere, fought several territorial conflicts with their Nilotic Kalenjin neighbors, particularly the Nandi and Kipsigis groups . Historically Nilotic groups including the Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Karamoja, Samburu etc had conflicts over grazing land due to their pastoralist lifestyles .

But the Luo like other Nilotic groups were pastoralists but also were primarily river lake Nilotes(like other groups along the Nile valley) with extensive boat-making and fishing cultures due to their Origin in the Nile Valley of Sudan/Lower Egypt . In addition the Luo practiced small scale farming in the past but at a lower level compared to their neighboring Bantu groups who were primarily farmers .

Appreciate that

I will one day.
