Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Jan. 26, 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 continuing crackdown on illegal gold mining in the Southern African state of Zimbabwe; there is a need for far more African women leaders on the continent according to a leading news source; some neo-colonial dominated leaders in West Africa desire the continued presence of United States AFRICOM troops in the region; and a Chinese medical team is providing free healthcare services to people in southern Togo. In the second and third hours we conclude our month-long tribute to the 91st anniversary of the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We look back at the intersection between the Civil Rights Movement and the African Independence struggles of the 1950s. Finally, the campaign to win universal suffrage in the U.S. was an integral aspect of African American liberation as exemplified by Dr. King's address at the Lincoln Memorial in May 1957.
