Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Nov. 19, 2022 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This episode features our PANW report with dispatches on the debates surrounding the final statement at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP27); a political activist in Egypt remains in detention despite international attention resulting from the climate summit; Zimbabwe is continuing to seek readmission to the Commonwealth after an absence of nearly two decades; and the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that testing for the coronavirus should not lessen since the pandemic remains a major public health problem internationally. In the second hour we listen to an extensive briefing from the World Health Organization (WHO) Africa Section directed by Dr. Matshidiso Moeti. Finally, we hear a rare archival audio file of a speech by African American novelist, playwright, essayist and public intellectual James Baldwin delivered in the fall of 1963 after the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
