It is interesting to note that founding father Jomo Kenyatta never knew the exact year of his birth—only that he was born sometime in the 1890s.
While most of us were nowhere near being born by the time of his death, it is always good to take a trip down memory lane whether or not we were around, just to if only for a few minutes imagine the world that existed before we were birthed.
These photos made us happy, and we have a feeling they will make you happy too.
