Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. June 25, 2022 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This episode continues our focus on Black Music Month. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on their position related to Ukraine becoming a candidate member of the European Union; there are calls from human rights organizations in Spain for an inquiry into the deaths of migrants in a recent stampede; the World Health Organization (WHO) has made an assessment of the status of the monkeypox virus amid an international outbreak; and the leader of the Malian military regime has placed his name on a slate to run in a proposed election in two years. In the second and  third hours we continue our monthlong examination into the legacy of Black Music. We are paying tribute to Aretha Franklin, M'bilia Bel and Phyllis Hyman.
