Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 11, 2020 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 admission by the Islamic Republic of Iran that its military forces brought down an Ukrainian passenger jet as a result of human error; the Republic of Zimbabwe announced that 60 percent of the humanitarian assistance needed in the Southern African state has been supplied by the international community; there have been additional demonstrations in the North African state of Algeria in opposition to the recently-elected President Abdelmadjid Tebboune; and the proposed government appointed by Tunisian Prime Minister-designate Habib Jemli has been rejected by the country's parliament. In the second hour we continue our focus on the upcoming national commemorations of the 91st birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by an examination of his evolving social vision related to the problems of poverty and war in the United States. Finally, we will listen to an archived audio documentary on the Tulsa massacre of 1921 where hundreds of African Americans were killed in mob attacks against their community. These historical events are being reviewed in light of the recent research related to the possible findings of mass graves of victims of the racist killings nearly a century ago.
