Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Nov. 5, 2022 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 bombing by the Pentagon's United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) of Somalia earlier in the week; Ethiopia Diasporans are playing a critical role in the ongoing struggle to maintain the national unity and sovereignty of the Horn of Africa state; the COP27 Climate Summit will be taking place later in the month in the North African state of Egypt; and the new right-wing government in Italy has closed ports to migrants crossing the Mediterranean. In the second hour we look at the recently-released Richard Wright novel entitled "The Man Who Lived Underground" which was banned from publication during the 1940s. We hear his daughter Julia Wright discuss the significance of releasing the novel during this time period. Finally, we look back on the racist murders of Emmett Till and Louis Allen during the 1950s and 1960s in the state of Mississippi. This retrospective is being conducted in light of the release of the feature film "Till" in the U.S.
