Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Jan. 20, 2018 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the recent interview given to the Financial Times newspaper by Republic of Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa; the government of Botswana has announced that the number of people living in poverty has been reduced; African nations are attending the Davos Summit to make their voices heard; and the United States government is shutdown due to the failure of the two ruling class parties to reach an agreement on a national budget. In the second and third hours we will continue our focus on the 89th birthday of Civil Rights and Peace leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We review an address he delivered at Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, just one year prior to his assassination. Finally we hear a report on the visit of Dr. King to Santa Rita Prison on Jan. 14, 1968 to visit political prisoners incarcerated for their opposition to the Vietnam War.
