Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Jan. 15, 2023 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This episode is in tribute to the life, times and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ((1929-1968) whose 94th birthday is being commemorated this weekend. We will feature our regular PANW report with dispatches on the bomb attack in central Somalia amid a renewed effort to defeat the rebel insurgency; there has been another attack as well in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) while one major rebel groupings says it is demobilizing its forces; the State of Mississippi has rejected the complaint filed by the NAACP in regard to the water crisis in the capital city of Jackson; and events commemorating MLK Day are being held across the United States. In the second hour we look back on the 1965 voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama through a rare archival audio file which documented events as they unfolded during March of that faithful year. Finally, we hear the first comprehensive address by Dr. King representing his evolving position against the war in Vietnam and U.S. militarism delivered in California during February 1967.
