1910 historic picture of former US president Theodore Roosevelt at Kibuga, Mengo (Kampala). Dressed in the kanzu next to Theodore is King Daudi Chwa II of Buganda Kingdom, and behind him is Katikkiro Sir Apollo Kaggwa. Prince Nuhu Mbogo of Kibuli Hill, Kampala is standing next to the nun. Behind Sir Apollo Kaggwa is Gabunga Yosiya Kasozi II, Admiral of the Navy (Empingu) and Kweeba of Ssese islands County.
Prince Nuhu Mbogo is Muslim, next to him is a catholic nun, and on the other side of President Theodore Roosevelt, King Daudi Chwa II is Anglican, his Prime Minister (Katikiiro) Sir Apollo Kaggwa is Anglican and the Kabaka's Admiral of the Fleet Gabunga Yosiya II is also of the Anglican faith (protestants).
They say pictures tell the story but this photo shows recognition of the existence of religious and cultural diversity in Buganda Kingdom, and the Kabaka's custom of non-discrimination on racial, ethnic or religious grounds. There freedom of worship, in the sense that by 1910, the people of Buganda had the right as applicable to belong to, enjoy, practise and profess any religion in community with others. The photo also shows a culture of tolerance, cooperation, understanding, appreciation and respect for each other's religious beliefs, customs and traditions .
