This website is dedicated to the memory of those who were killed in the struggle for a better Kenya. Citizens who paid the ultimate price for their dream of a nation where all citizens are equal. Where leaders listen. Where justice and merit matter. And where they can have a future. They are not a statistic. They were Kenyans leading full lives, loved by family and friends, carrying hopes of a better tomorrow - and bearing the courage of their forefathers who rose up against their colonial masters. This is a place to remember them. For today, their roars echo in the hearts of the free. And their voices will whisper through the ages. In Kenya's heart, they will forever bloom.

The brave individuals who took to the streets did so hoping to create a better future for all Kenyans. Their courage and determination in the face of adversity inspire us to continue striving for justice, equality, and good governance.

Each person remembered here has a story—stories of courage, hope, and the quest for a better life. We invite you to learn more about these individuals, their lives, and their contributions to the movement for a just and equitable Kenya.
