This special edition of the Pan-African Journal was another installment in the African American History Month series. The program focused on the history and current economic crisis in the city of Detroit.
A segment featuring Blues artist John Lee Hooker, who settled in Detroit during World War II as part of the Great Migration, is presented as a representation of the sociological character of the developing majority African American population.
Later in the program a lecture delivered by host Abayomi Azikiwe on Leid Stories over the Progressive Radio Network (PRN.FM) in New York City last month was played. Azikiwe discussed the socio-economic and political crisis in Detroit within a broader context of the national and international restructuring of the world system.
Finally we examined the forced bankruptcy of Detroit through the imposition of emergency management.
We listened to excerpts of the cross-examination of a financial broker during the recent interest-rate swaps trial in Detroit involving the potential payout of additional hundreds of millions of dollars to Barclays, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS.
The trial ended with the failure of these financial institutions to win approval of the deal from the federal bankruptcy court.
