Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Dec. 11, 2022 special 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 emergence of further details surrounding the passing of Congolese musician and political figure Tshala Muana in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); a Libyan man was arrested and transported to the United States in connection with a bombing which occurred in the United Kingdom decades ago; the South African Constitutional Court has dismissed a motion for reconsideration filed by the family of Chris Hani and the Communist Party (SACP) on the parole of Hani's assassin; and the Zambian youth killed in Ukraine fighting alongside the Russian military has been returned to the Southern African state. In the second and third hours we commemorate the 163rd anniversary of the state execution of anti-slavery fighter John Brown in Dec. 1859. We look back on the historical events leading up to the raid on Harper's Ferry such as the Fugitive Slave Act, Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott Decision, etc. and the role of these developments in contemporary society.
