Seminar on “Luos of Kenya: President Obama’s proud ancestors” was so enthusiastically received by the seniors at the Riverdale Hebrew Home in the Bronx (New York) in July -August 2009 that they overwhelmingly requested for an extension of the program. The six week seminar covers the history of Kenya’s ethnic groups, especially the Luo nilotes, their participation in national politics, customs and traditions, comparison of living in rural and urban areas, and the effects of modernization on traditions. With power point presentations, Ambassador Jalang’o utilizes personal experiences from being brought up in Luo land, adds photographic images and traditional music, and stories of polygamy and other life styles, the seminar was a sell out.
