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. Our program highlights the regular PANW reports with dispatches on the recently concluded Forum on China-Africa Relations (FOCAC) in the Republic of South Africa; the reported presence of IS in the western coastal city of Sirte, Libya is providing a rationale for the resumption of air strikes by the imperialists; the United States has carried out bombing operations in the Horn of Africa state of Somalia just this last past week; and the nation of Burundi faces further instability with the failure of the East African regional community and the African Union to stabilize the situation inside the country. In the second hour we continue our coverage of the FOCAC Summit with reports on the various agreements signed between China and AU member-states. We continue our recognition of the 60th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott by looking at the historical predecessors to the Dec. 1955 actions examining the high school students strike in Virginia during 1951. In the third hour we hear the voice of Dr. TRM Howard who was a physician in Mississippi that supported the Civil Rights struggle during the 1950s. Finally we listen to part I of the historic Massey Lectures delivered in 1967 by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) radio where he proceeded to rapidly shift his views on US society and international affairs.
