Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Aug. 20, 2017 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 Zimbabwe Defense Forces Day where President Robert Mugabe paid tribute to the military of the Southern African state; the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the triumph of the national liberation forces against Japanese imperialism; the Chinese media has published an editorial indicating that the politicization of trade by the United States will damage damage relations with Washington; and activists packed the courtroom in Durham, North Carolina to support members of Workers World Party and other anti-racist organizations who are facing prosecution for the destruction of a confederate statue on Aug. 15. In the second hour we continue our focus on Black August with an interview by Gerald Horne on the Haitian Revolution. Finally we present a rare archival interview with Black Panther Party Field Marshall George L. Jackson from 1971 just several months before he was assassinated.
