February is African American History Month and this year Abayomi Azikwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire, went on a lecture tour to four cities on the east coast of the United States. Azikiwe visited and delivered talks in New York City, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
The theme of the lectures was "Africa and the Struggle Against Imperialism." In Boston where this program was broadcast, there was a standing room only crowd which listened intently to the lecture and raised serious questions in its aftermath.
Since the Bush administration and continuing under Obama, the United States imperialist system has escalated its military presence on the African continent through the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). In the recent developments in the Central African Republic and the Republic of South Sudan, Pentagon troops have been involved.
Many of the contemporary problems within various African states were inherited from the systems of colonialism and neo-colonialism. Therefore Africans worldwide must draw on their historical legacy of anti-imperialist and Pan-African struggle to fight the push for the total recolonization of the continent.
