History

Moses Lwanga was born in the Republic of Uganda, but immigrated to the United States when he was seven-years-old. As an adult, he attended Harvard Medical School, and married a Ugandan woman named Sera.

Doctor Lwanga, a pacifist by nature, became a peace activist and worked hard to rebuild the communities torn apart by violence in the Acholiland in Northern Uganda. In 2002, Doctor Lwanga attended the Kamapla Conference as a guest speaker, wherein he urged all Africans to take back their country and to help Ugandans forced to live in the impoverished displacement camps.

While working at his clinic, Doctor Lwanga found a young boy who had been brutally bludgeoned by militants from Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). He ran off to find the boy's attacker, only to discover that the perpetrator was little more than a boy himself. Something snapped inside of Moses Lwanga, and all of his internalized anger exploded in a brash act of violence. Picking up a rifle, he shot the assailant multiple times until he was dead. Disgusted by what he had done, Moses Lwanga contemplated taking his own life. ^[1]
