Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 14, 2023 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The episode features our PANW report with dispatches on the tributes from the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa upon the death of former parliamentary speaker Dr. Frene Ginwala; a government minister has been arrested in Brazil in connection with the attempted coup one week ago; the opposition forces in the West African state of Benin have questioned the varacity of the recently held parliamentary elections; and the Somalian government is calling for an intensified effort to defeat the rebel group Al-Shabaab. In the second hour we look in detail at the life, times and contributions of ANC stalwart Dr. Frene Ginwala. The 94th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is being commemorated this weekend in the United States. We listen to his historic address in Detroit on June 23, 1963 where an earlier iteration of the "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered. In addition, we review the efforts of Dr. King in Chicago during 1966 among other contributions.
