This broadcast featured special guest Norman Otis Richmond of Toronto during the second half of the program. Richmond discussed the legacy of Revolutionary Pan-Africanist Elombe Brath of Harlem in New York City.

Brath made his transition on May 19, the birthday of Malcolm X. Brath founded the Patrice Lumumba Coalition in 1975 at the time of the apartheid regime’s military intervention in Angola.

Later Cuban internationalist forces would enter the country and their combined might coupled with that of the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) and the African National Congress (ANC), brought about the consolidation of Angolan independence and the eventual independence of Namibia.

The program features as well the Pan-African News Wire segment of the broadcast. News reports on Africa and other geo-political regions of the world are presented.

During the second half of the program we continue with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the intervention of Malcolm X in Africa and the Middle East. These experiences were reflected upon in the Oxford Union debate of December 3, 1964 where Malcolm X presents his views on self-defense and armed struggle.
