The birth of a nation - this is what this monument signifies. The older woman symbolizes the older Uganda and the bondage around the legs upto the chest is the colonial rule that Uganda was subjected to and then the way the woman is holding up the male child seen to be emerging from the bondage, symbolizes the birth of a nation out of colonialism which is the Uganda of Now represented by the child. nThe young Uganda (the child) is seen to be celebrating the freedom gained from colonial rule which was in 9th October 1962.nnA must-visit site when in Kampala. It is free to access and conveniently located in the CBD.nnTour by @tembeakampalawalkingtours (On Instagram)
