Judith Heard honours her father in inspirational message on Rwanda's Liberation Day

Heard was dressed in all-black as she toured the museum which was inaugurated in 2017. She took to her Instagram to share a message about the day.

"Freedom lies in being bold. We celebrate our Men and Women who fought for us to achieve our freedom," the caption reads in part.

"Rwanda Liberation Day on July 4 is observed because it marks the end of a period under a tyrannical government and the beginning of freedom from oppression. It represents the end of a dictatorship and the start of democracy. The date is also the anniversary of the Rwandan Patriotic Front liberating the country and ending the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi. The day is known locally as ‘Kwibohora.’" the caption continues.
