ArchivesLooking for the meanning of Mumia?
I recently read an Article about Mumia Abu-Jamal. I wanted to know if anyone had any idea what Mumia means. I read that he chose Mumia, after having been inspired by high school teacher of Kenyan origin (perhaps the name is Kenyan?)
On wikipedia I read that : Abu-Jamal claims that 'Mumia' means "Prince" and was the name of anti-colonial African nationalists conducting warfare against the British in Kenya at the time of the Uhuru. Is there any historical truth to this?
Or is it simply an alternative spelling of Mwenye?
many thanks in advance for any suggestions
