Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. July 12, 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 address by President Cyril Ramaphosa of the Republic of South Africa on the escalation in COVID-19 cases; the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported on the rapid climb in coronavirus infections internationally; Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has openly disagreed with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on the handling of the pandemic; and the education crisis in the United States is mounting as the White House is attempting force schools to re-open. In the second hour we look back on the 53rd anniversary of the beginning of the Newark Rebellion of 1967 in light the current unrest in the aftermath of the police execution of George Floyd in Minneapolis. We also review the historic National Conference for a United Front Against Fascism held in Oakland, California in July 1969 organized by the Black Panther Party. Finally, we rebroadcast an important address delivered by African American playwright Lorraine Hansberry on June 15, 1964 at a Town Hall meeting held in New York City entitled "The Black Revolution and the White Backlash."
