Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Fri. June 8, 2018 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire.  The program will feature our regular PANW report with dispatches on the recent court ruling in South Africa which awarded control over legendary artist Miriam Makeba's music to her family; the Lake Chad region is experiencing horrendous food deficits particularly among children; the Boko Haram Islamist group is still striking out at civilians and military personnel in northeastern Nigeria; and more Somalians are being displaced in the Horn of Africa region. In the second hour we listen to a rebroadcast of an interview with Abayomi Azikiwe, the host of this program, which aired on June 7 over the Progressive Radio Network (PRN) discussing the social crisis in the state of Michigan involving water, poverty, housing and education. Finally we continue our monthlong focus on Black Music Month with the second part of an audio documentary on Ruby Elzy.
