When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and they had the Bible, They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible – Jomo Kenyatta APAD 15 #instamood #picoftheday #instagood #digitalart #cool #omg #best #artwork #art #instadaily #instamood #blackhistory #africandigitalart #everyday #darkbeauty #history #kenyanhistory #africanhistory
