Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Sept. 19, 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 planned resumption of flights by Air Zimbabwe in Southern Africa; Ethiopia has introduced a new currency in this Horn of Africa state; the United Nations is poised to hold its 75th General Assembly virtually amid the COVID-19 pandemic; and demonstrations against police brutality and federal occupation have resumed in the city of Portland after the clearing of smoke from forest fires raging in the Pacific Northwest in the United States. In the second and third hours we look back on the 50th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, the legendary guitarist and composor who made his transition on Sept. 18, 1970. In these segments we examine the life, times and contributions of the artist who made an indelible mark on the events of the late 20th century.
