Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to this special edition of the Pan-African Journal hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. In this program we present our regular PANW reports with dispatches on events in Sudan where President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is reportedly on a visit to Saudi Arabia amid efforts to seek dialogue with opposition forces inside the country; in South Sudan conflict continues between a fractured SPLM/A which has so far resisted efforts to reconstruct a government of national unity with the assistance of the regional states; the Iranian Supreme Leader continues to target the United States for efforts to dominate and destabilize the peoples and nations of the world; and developments surrounding the bombing of the Italian embassy in the North African state of Egypt has prompted closer ties between Cairo and Rome. The second hour continues the month-long tribute and examination of the literary contributions of African people featuring part two of a lecture delivered by journalist and scholar Louis Lomax in Nov. 1962 discussing race and power in the U.S. Additionally in this segment we will acknowledge the contributions of 20th century African American women writers Margaret Walker and Dorothy West. In the final hour we further extend the historical review of the 150th anniversary of the conclusion of the Civil War looking at the Reconstruction era with Eric Foner and Heather Cox Richardson.
