In 19th-century Uganda, over 40 young Christian converts—mostly teenage boys—were brutally put to death.Their crime?

As modern-day Africans endure disease, poverty, and genocide, the example of these young martyrs offers hope to a culture wearied by promiscuity and tribal violence. With additional reporting by Matthew E. Bunson.
