The Young Kikuyu Association (YKA) was formed in Kenya on the 10th June 1921, as a break away organisation from the Kikuyu Association (KA). In July 1921 it was renamed the East Africa Association (EAA). Harry Thuku, who had previously been secretary of the KA, felt that the KA was not demanding enough from the British Authorities in Kenya and that grievances should be sent directly to London.

This little moment mercifully gave,
Where I have seen across the twilight wave
The swan sail with her young beneath her wings.”
