Chance the Rapper celebrates Kenya's Mau Mau struggle during Nairobi visit

The Chicago-born musician shared the appeal on social media, updating his followers on a visit to the Nairobi National Museum, where he toured the country's exhibition on the Mau Mau movement.

Chance, who was accompanied by his family, posted photos of several exhibits, including displays on freedom fighters such as Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi and the Land and Freedom Army.

He also spoke on the importance of teaching children about Kenya's history and African liberation.

"Today we went to Nairobi to learn more about the land and freedom army popularly known as the MAU MAU. The history of this incredibly important and successful violent revolt against British colonialism and subjugation must be taught to your children," Chance said.

The artist has been a vocal advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement since 2020, speaking out during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd and on Black liberation in the United States.

In a post on May 30, 2020, he addressed the violence during the Los Angeles protests and challenged how demonstrators were being portrayed.

"If you hold a pen at a publication, this is the time be carefully intent with your words. Do not demonize the people that are being beat and battered in the streets. Damaging property is not violent. But the actions of the state have been. It must be documented justly," he wrote.

Beyond the museum, Chance visited Diani Beach on the coast, Mombasa and local Nairobi grocery stores as he explored Kenyan culture during his tour.
