**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219 Recap**   **Guests:** Shaun Yurtkuran (Hour 1 & 2) and Andrew Gasser (Hour 2) ### Mark Fuhrman's Passing & OJ Simpson Trial Reflections Clay opened by discussing the passing of Mark Fuhrman, the former LAPD detective best known for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial. He described Fuhrman as one of the most iconic and infamous figures in modern pop culture history. Shaun, who has studied the case extensively, noted that prosecutors were aware of Fuhrman's background issues before calling him as a witness. He pointed out that Chris Darden reportedly resisted using Fuhrman, but Marcia Clark made the final decision to call him. Both hosts agreed the prosecution made critical strategic errors, including allowing O.J. Simpson to try on the glove in court. Clay connected the discussion to broader race relations in America. He shared his personal experiences growing up in South Jackson during the 1980s in a diverse neighborhood, attending public schools, and not encountering overt racism in his daily life. He argued that the very public celebrations by segments of the Black community following O.J.'s acquittal damaged race relations and have not aged well over time. Clay drew a distinction between individual Black people and what he called “Black culture rot.” ### Jackson Bribery Trial – The “Free the Land Three” Clay and Shaun devoted significant time to the federal bribery case involving Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks, whom Clay referred to as the “Free the Land Three.” - **Jody Owens' defense**: Entrapment. He claims undercover agents took advantage of his alcoholism by getting him drunk during meetings (referencing White Claws and Truly in a photo included in court filings). - **Chokwe Antar Lumumba's defense**: The conduct did not constitute bribery or an official act but was instead standard campaign contributions used to build political influence — behavior common among politicians. - **Marvay Smith**: The Jackson businessman who pleaded guilty early and is cooperating with prosecutors. Court documents referenced an allegation that Owens suggested running license plates on vehicles associated with the undercover operation, expecting them to trace back to the FBI. - **Aaron Banks**: Clay and Shaun discussed the possibility that Banks may ultimately cooperate with the government, given the lighter charges he faces and the potential for a reduced sentence through substantial assistance. Shaun broke down the legal standards for an entrapment defense, noting that it requires both government inducement and a lack of predisposition on the defendant's part. He argued Jody's active participation throughout the scheme makes a successful entrapment claim difficult. Both hosts described the overall operation as poorly executed and amateurish for individuals in such prominent positions. Clay predicted that if Lumumba were to flip and cooperate, it would dramatically increase pressure on Jody to accept a plea deal. ### Hilton Hotel on County Line Road Up for Sale Clay reported that the Hilton hotel on County Line Road is currently up for auction with a starting bid of $1.8 million. He noted the property remains open and operational. The conversation turned to the long-term decline of County Line Road, which was once a major commercial and traffic corridor but has seen significantly reduced activity in recent years. Shaun observed how dramatically the area has changed and referenced an investor who has acquired multiple downtown Jackson buildings at very low prices in recent years. They also discussed ongoing challenges with other downtown properties damaged by past weather events. ### Crime, Security & Business Challenges in Jackson Clay discussed conversations with a bar owner in the North Jackson area regarding recent shootings in a shared parking lot, including one incident that resulted in the death of a young woman who had recently graduated high school during a post-graduation party. Key points raised: - Most of the violence has occurred **outside** the bars in parking lot areas after patrons leave the premises. - The new Jackson Police Chief has reportedly pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty officers at the businesses' own expense. - Open-container policies have contributed to problems, with some patrons assuming they can drink in parking lots. - Clay argued that businesses already pay taxes and are entitled to basic police services, including proactive presence in known problem areas. He contrasted this with the visible success of Capitol Police presence in the Belhaven and Fondren districts, where it has supported revitalization. - Off-duty officer details carry significant costs, and requiring multiple officers for larger lots places a heavy financial burden on small business owners. - Both Clay and Andrew emphasized that Jackson is in an “enforcement phase” and criticized the idea of additional studies on the root causes of crime while immediate enforcement remains insufficient. ### Disturbing Murder Statistics Clay presented FBI-derived statistics from 2021 showing stark disparities in murder offending rates by race and age group: - Black males ages 15–24: 207.4 murders per 100,000 - Black males ages 5–14: 4.9 per 100,000 - White males ages 15–64: 5.2 per 100,000 He highlighted that Black children ages 5–14 commit murders at a rate roughly comparable to White males ages 15–64. Black females in several age brackets also showed higher rates than White males. Clay described the numbers as deeply concerning and attributed the patterns primarily to cultural factors, including family breakdown and the absence of strong moral foundations. Andrew agreed the data reflects serious cultural problems that require honest internal examination within affected communities. ### Civil Rights Education & Upcoming Protests Clay argued that the way civil rights history is currently taught in schools has created a built-in excuse for failure and conditioned young people to view themselves as perpetual victims. He suggested the material should remain available for independent study but questioned its prominent role in K-12 education, claiming it often fuels grievance rather than preparing students for real-world accountability. He referenced organized efforts promoting a “Day of Action” protest regarding recent Supreme Court rulings on voting maps, framing it as part of ongoing narratives around voter suppression

That’s not all, Math Guru Akil Parker, whose engaging approach makes even complex subjects accessible, will join us. Plus, hear directly from Benton Harbor, Michigan’s courageous activist pastor, Ed Pickney, as he breaks down the real-world impact of the latest Supreme Court ruling on his community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De geboorteakte van de natie, zo wordt de speech van kersverse premier van Congo genoemd. Het originele document is eindelijk teruggevonden door archivaris Gertjan Desmet. Een toevallige vondst die 20 jaar op zich liet wachten: “had iemand Lumumba ingetikt in ons systeem, was het document verschenen”. ­ Zestig jaar lang leefde de mythe dat Patrice Lumumba zijn legendarische onafhankelijkheidsspeech ter plekke aanpaste en verhardde na de woorden van koning Boudewijn. Maar het pas teruggevonden origineel manuscript vertelt een ander verhaal. Het zit vol doorhalingen, toevoegingen en handgeschreven notities van Lumumba zelf. ­ Wat onthult die vondst over Congo's geboorteakte? Hoe kan het dat het zo lang duurde vooraleer dit aan het licht kwam? En wat zegt het over België's omgang met zijn koloniale verleden? Wil je onze podcastreeks Loopje met de wetenschap beluisteren?

    Pod Crashing episode 459 with Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles from the podcast T A Building… "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts.The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life.One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose.Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide.Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting."This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later.""

La figura de Patrice Lumumba es la figura de uno de los grandes opositores a los más poderosos del mundo. Se convirtió en presidente del Congo, pero... lo asesinaron.

In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn hosts retired High Court Judge Chris Nicholson to talk about his book “Who Really Killed Chris Hani?” This past Friday 10 April was the anniversary of his assasination in 1993. Nicholson challenges the bizarre narrative that a Right Pole Janusz Walus and a White Supremacist Clive Derby-Lewis operated without outside assistance. Nicholson takes viewers through his list of suspects, including Hani's foes in the intelligence world, the captains of industry, and his rivals in the African National Congress (ANC). He further describes the similarity in motives for the murder of the “incorruptible” South African Communist Party (SACP) leader and those of five others: Anti-Apartheid Advocate Anton Lubowski, UN Commissioner for Namibia Bernt Carlsson, Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme, former Republic of Congo Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, and former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld. He also deals with the suspicious death of Paul Madaka, who headed the National Intelligence Agency's (NIA) Anti-Corruption Unit. Nicholson describes how different a country South Africa would have been had Hani lived.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes historian and Admitted Racist Michael Phillips. Classified as a White Man, Phillips is “a scholar of Texas race relations, racism, and right-wing extremism, he has taught at Collin College and worked with SMU's Clements Center for Southwestern Studies.” While examining the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Gus T. saw some of the same names of people who are discussed related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Powerful Race Soldiers had many White Supremacist reasons to see both Kennedy and Lumumba terminated. Many of these Racists live in and/or are connected to Texas. While researching, Gus T. located Phillips' White Metropolis: Race, Ethnicity, and Religion in Dallas, 1841–2001. The book examines what it means to be classified as White and the local history of the System of White Supremacy in Dallas. We'll discuss White culture - which is basically lynching black people and minstrel shows. And why the Racist Power structure of Dallas is important to understanding the Kennedy assassination and Dallas history in general. Gus T. and Mr. Phillips had a major disagreement, and Gus accused Phillips of lying in the book when he wrote: “The Jim Crow system that fully developed in Dallas after the 1920s represented a more subtle and effective form of establishment dominance. Lynching had oppressed both black men and white women.” Phillips had no evidence to support how White Women were systemically oppressed by White Men in a manner similar to black males. White Women advocated for White Women's suffrage so they could reinforce White Supremacy. White Women made sure their White children had niggra classmates - which denied black children access to quality education, and White Women are the first teachers of Racist Women and Racist Woman. Phillips admitted to Practicing White Supremacy/Racism and being informed about Racism. We also had a tiff about what constitutes White Culture. #GoneToTexas #LooneyCoons #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Ralph welcomes international human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber to discuss the U.S. and Israel's illegal war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about the finances of Donald Trump.Craig Mokhiber is an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. A human rights activist in the 1980s, he would go on to serve for more than three decades at the United Nations, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and UN Headquarters in New York. In October of 2023, he left the United Nations, penning a widely read letter criticizing the UN's human rights failures in the Middle East, warning of unfolding genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.Anyone who pays attention knows that Iran wasn't attacked because it has nuclear weapons. It was attacked because it doesn't have nuclear weapons, and was therefore viewed by Israel and the U.S. as being a state that could be overcome militarily. But what really is, I think, most telling about this is the hypocrisy of the claims, because the only party in the region that has stockpiles of nuclear weapons (which are entirely undeclared and unsupervised) is the Israeli regime, not the Iranian. And the Israeli regime was joined in attacking Iran by another nuclear power—the United States.Craig MokhiberIsrael (which has attacked the United Nations throughout its entire life and declared that the United Nations is an anti-Semitic terror organization) fights like hell to stay in the United Nations, pays its dues every year to make sure that it stays in…and renews its treaty obligations as a member of the United Nations (that, of course, it violates with impunity). So it's very funny that Israel calls the UN an anti-Semitic terror organization, yet it insists on being a member and paying its dues to fund that so-called anti-Semitic terror organization.Craig MokhiberI don't think that putting Iran in an existential crisis is the best way to tell them you don't need nuclear weapons. I think stopping attacking them, their economy, their currency, their scientists, their political leaders, their military personnel, their civilians, their girls' schools—if you want a country to believe that it doesn't need to arm itself, this is not the way to go about it.Craig MokhiberDavid Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, specialist in economics and tax issues, and a professor of practice teaching law, public policy, and journalism at Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the author of several books, including The Making of Donald Trump and It's Even Worse Than You Think: What The Trump Administration Is Doing To America. He is also the co-founder of DCReport, a nonprofit news service that reports what the President and Congress DO, not what they SAY.Convicting Donald Trump of tax fraud would be very easy. You establish these corporations [reporting major losses] don't exist. You establish that he took tax losses from these multiple corporations (in all, about 60 entries over the six years of tax returns). And there's no defense for that. It's flat-out fraud. It's blatant fraud. So Trump has gotten away with this because we don't seriously treat high-level tax fraud in this country.David Cay JohnstonNews 3/20/26* Our top story this week concerns a new study titled “Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis.” As summarized in Hell Gate, this study demonstrates that the precipitous rise in rent prices are not primarily the result of insufficient housing supply or of vacancy rates. Moreover, contrary to the claims of the so-called Abundance movement, reducing regulations to spur new construction is unlikely to create significantly more housing. Even if it did, that would probably fail to bring down rents, because the real cause of the rental spike is “Steep national inequality.” So, what can be done to bring down rents? Maximilian Buchholz, the lead author of the study, puts it bluntly in this interview: “rent control, tenant protection policies like just cause eviction, and income supports for people toward the bottom.” Simply put, the best policies to lower rents are policies that lower rents. This has been demonstrated time and time again in different policy areas, yet on the whole, Democrats still seem to prefer byzantine policy formulae instead of straightforward policy solutions to the glaring issues facing the American people. * Speaking of rising costs, Washingtonian magazine is out with a new story on the Washington Post hiking prices for subscribers. Yet apparently not all subscribers are created equal. According to this story, these increases are accompanied by a simple yet insidious message: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.” This is the latest deployment of what has become known as algorithmic – or “surveillance” – pricing. This piece notes other examples of surveillance pricing, ranging from the Princeton Review charging more for the same SAT tutoring package in areas with higher Asian populations (they called it the “tiger mom tax”) to Amazon charging local school districts vastly different prices for the same supplies. However, this new policy from the Post is especially brazen given the straits the paper has recently found itself in, declining by a million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 and hemorrhaging key reporters to a new rival paper sponsored by Robert Albritton, including Dana Milbank, Jeff Stein, Paul Kane and Paige Cunningham, among others, per the Hill.* In more media news, Variety reports that ratings for CBS Evening News are cratering, falling back to where executives at the news division behind the show “hoped never to return.” The nightly news program, anchored by Tony Dokoupil, has fallen below 4 million viewers; when the previous iteration of the program anchored by Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson fell to this nadir, Paramount Skydance pulled the plug. While this is perhaps just a symptom of the collapse of cable news, Variety notes that ABC's “World News Tonight,” averaged nearly 8 and a half million viewers and “NBC Nightly News” scored just over 6 and half million. Dokoupil did score a slight uptick in viewership when he took over the Evening News, but that seems to have been nothing more than a flash in the pan. This pathetic showing seems to confirm what seemed obvious all along: there is simply little audience for the editorial viewpoint espoused by CBS's new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss.* The bad news for Bari doesn't end there, either. According to the Wrap, the new chief is locked in contentious negotiations with the unionized staff of CBS, specifically the 60-person unit behind the network's streaming service, “CBS News 24/7.” These workers staged a 24 hour walkout earlier this week. Their grievances include everything from new grueling 12-hour weekend shifts – despite no weekend-specific live programming – as well as CBS News' reported plans to lay off 15% of staff. CBS News already laid off roughly 100 people in October after Paramount merged with Skydance and many believe more layoffs will come if the merger with CNN, which is not unionized, goes through as part of the Paramount Warner Bros. deal.* In other news, a recent study reveals a fascinating disconnect between the self-description of Democrats and their policy preferences. The study, conducted on behalf of the New Republic by Embold Research, gave respondents five choices to describe their ideology: conservative, moderate, moderate-to-liberal, liberal, and progressive. Only 12% identified as moderate, but another 21% called themselves moderate-to-liberal. Yet, among this combined group, approximately 70% said Democrats are “too timid” on taxing the rich and corporations, and cracking down on corporate criminals. Fewer than 5% of moderates said Democrats are “too aggressive” on these issues. In a word, even the moderates among the Democratic base think the party should take a more strident economic populist line. This tracks with polling conducted during the Texas Democratic Senate primary which found that 47% of voters who identified as socialists also identified as moderates.* Our next several stories this week have to do with the intersection of foreign policy and energy. The AP reports that on Tuesday, Cuba reconnected its energy grid following a 29-hour long nationwide blackout. This story notes that this reconnection will only provide scant and temporary relief, because not enough power is being generated. The energy crisis in Cuba has gotten progressively worse since the beginning of the year, as the new government in Venezuela and the newly reinforced sanctions regime have both served to cut off the island from energy imports. That said, cracks in this blockade are beginning to form. Bloomberg reports that a “tanker carrying more than 700,000 barrels of Russian crude is expected to arrive in Cuba by the end of the month,” and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her administration is “looking into different possibilities” to resume fuel shipments to Cuba as well. Sheinbaum stressed that Mexico is “sovereign” and able to “have trade agreements with any country in the world,” per the Latin Times. The U.S. government has already eased sanctions on Russian oil sales to India, but has now announced that they will not allow the Russians to send oil to Cuba, per Bloomberg. As the ship is already on its way, it is an open question of how far the U.S. will go to prevent Russia from sending lifesaving resources to the country that has held out against American pressure for so long.* Next, a stunning story in the Wall Street Journal documents how the Trump administration settled on their final course of action in Venezuela. According to this piece, the Central Intelligence Agency consulted former Chevron executive Ali Moshiri, described as the oil company's man in “Man in Venezuela—and a CIA Informant.” Apparently, Moshiri warned that if the U.S. government tried to oust the Chavista government of Nicolás Maduro and install María Corina Machado and her exile comrades in its place, the country would turn into “another quagmire like Iraq.” Moshiri specifically warned that Machado did not have the support of the country's security services or control of its oil infrastructure. For their part, Chevron issued a statement claiming that “between spring of 2025 and the removal of Maduro, Chevron did not authorize anyone working for, or on behalf of, the company to engage with the CIA related to Venezuela's leadership, including assessments of government officials or opposition leaders.” Moshiri, formally left Chevron in 2017 and ended his consulting relationship with the company in 2024. Unlike many other oil companies, Chevron maintained a presence in Venezuela over the years, positioning the company to benefit most from the new extraction political environment under the leadership of upjumped Vice President Delcy Rodríguez.* Meanwhile, a story from NOTUS highlights why this kind of outside advice is likely more heeded than ever in the halls of power: the publication reports that six months ago, the State Department under the leadership of Secretary Marco Rubio, fired its in-house oil and gas experts, including laying off staff who “would have been responsible for gaming out possible scenarios if the Strait of Hormuz was closed” and “staffers with close professional relationships at oil and gas companies in the Middle East and experts tasked with maintaining diplomatic contacts at foreign energy bureaus.” This is a final nail in the coffin for the misguided logic of Elon Musk's DOGE initiative and serves as a crystal clear example of why it is so dangerous to purge experts with significant institutional knowledge from the federal bureaucracy.* Another consequence of this lack of diplomatic expertise is the ultimate cost to the taxpayer – $200 billion in additional Pentagon funding, to be exact, per CNBC. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, defending the request in typically childish terms, said “It takes money to kill bad guys.” In similarly childish terms, President Trump, asked why the Pentagon is seeking so much money, said, “We're asking for a lot of reasons,” and while he told a reporter he would not send U.S. troops to the region, he added, “If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you.” Beyond the flippant attitude towards the immense sums of taxpayer money they are requesting from Congress, to say nothing of the cost in American and Iranian lives, the American people would do well to remember how casually the political class treats $200 billion when it is to be spent on war instead of social programs. All this as gas prices spike, with price increases rippling out to all other consumer goods.* Finally, the BBC reports a Belgian court has ruled that a former diplomat, Etienne Davignon, can stand trial in connection with the 1961 killing of Congo's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba. Davignon, 93, is the “only surviving member of the 10 Belgians accused in a criminal case brought by Lumumba's family in 2011.” At the time, Davignon was a diplomat in training. He would go on to become a vice-president of the European Commission. Lumumba meanwhile was ousted in a Belgian and U.S.-backed coup led by Mobutu Sese Seko, who would rule Congo (renamed Zaire) until 1997. In 1961, Lumumba was executed by a Belgian-backed Congolese firing squad and his body was dissolved in acid. Lumumba's grandson, Mehdi Lumumba, is quoted saying “We are all relieved…Belgium is finally confronting its history.” Many have remarked that while this has taken over 50 years, it sets a powerful precedent that justice can be found even after so many decades. Many of the war criminals that walk the Earth today are far younger than Mr. Davignon.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

A scientist in Fiji spends a lot of her time swimming with bull sharks and she's delighted to share that the ocean's apex predators are actually pretty good at making friends. A Belgian court rules that a former diplomat must stand trial for the murder of the first Congolese Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba. Mr. Lumumba's granddaughter tells us that's a win for the family, but only the very beginning of justice for the country. At the end of this month, Yellowknife's only movie theatre will be going out of business — unless local movie lovers can find a way to keep the doors open. He never met a metaverse he didn't like. But after spending 80 billion dollars on that virtual world, Mark Zuckerberg is effectively shutting it down — to the chagrin of all the virtual characters stuck inside it.As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that guesses they're not going to live happily ever avatar.

De Belgische diplomaat Etienne Davignon, 93 intussen, moet zich voor de rechter verantwoorden voor zijn rol in de moord op Patrice Lumumba, die in 1960 premier was van Congo. Krijgt de familie-Lumumba, 65 jaar na de feiten, toch nog gerechtigheid? Patrice Lumumba was in 1960 de eerste democratisch verkozen premier van Congo, dat net onafhankelijk geworden was. Voor België, dat zijn belangen in Congo wilde verdedigen, was hij te radicaal. Daarom zag ons land hem liever van het toneel verdwijnen. Lumumba werd gevangengenomen en uiteindelijk vermoord, mét de hulp van heel wat Belgen. Dinsdag besliste de raadkamer van Brussel dat Davignon zich voor de rechter moet verantwoorden voor zijn aandeel in die moord. 65 jaar na de feiten. En 15 jaar nadat de nabestaanden van Lumumba een klacht hebben ingediend. Als het tot een veroordeling van Davignon komt, zou dat historisch zijn, zegt onze collega Heleen Debeuckelaere. “Er zijn al juridische procedures geweest waarbij ons land zich moest verantwoorden voor zijn koloniale verleden. Maar dat waren burgerlijke procedures. Hier gaat het om de eerste criminele vervolging van een individu.” En niet zomaar een individu, want Davignon is een naam als een klok. “De talloze papjes waar die man een vinger in had, als diplomaat en adviseur, dat is ongelooflijk. Dat soort figuren in de Belgische geschiedenis, die zo'n lange schaduw hebben geworpen, die zijn er bijna niet meer”, zegt Heleen. Krijgt de familie van Lumumba na al die jaren toch nog gerechtigheid? Hoe belangrijk is deze rechtszaak voor Congo en het Afrikaanse continent? En voor ons, om met ons koloniale verleden alsnog in het reine te komen?

Wird einer der wichtigsten und folgenschwersten politischen Morde des 20. Jahrhunderts endlich strafrechtlich verfolgt? Kann der letzte überlebende belgische Diplomat, der mutmaßlich an Lumumbas Ermordung beteiligt war, endlich vor Gericht gestellt werden?

ABOUT THE A BUILDING iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment Launch "The A Building" - A Riveting New Documentary Podcast About the Student Uprising That Reshaped Historically Black Colleges and Universities New Series Recounts How a Group of Morehouse College Students in 1969, Including a Young Samuel L. Jackson, Organized a Protest That Took Multiple Hostages, Among Them Martin Luther King Sr. iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment today announced the launch of "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts. The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life. One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose. Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide. Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting. "This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later." "It's an incredible, unbelievable story when you first hear it," said Hans Charles, co-creator and producer. "That it happened on a campus like Morehouse College, in a city like Atlanta, at such a volatile time, speaks to the importance of telling and exploring what is quintessential American History." "What makes the story of 'The A Building' so compelling is how clearly it reveals the purpose and power of protest," said Nathan Kloke, Executive Producer for Imagine Entertainment. "When Hans and Menelek first brought us this pivotal chapter of American history, it unfolded like a heist film-fast-paced, surprising, and utterly gripping. We're excited to bring audiences along for the ride." "This is premium documentary storytelling that connects history to the present," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "'The A Building' revisits a moment that feels both historic and urgently relevant, revealing how student voices helped shape lasting institutional change." "The A Building" is part of a growing slate of documentary podcasts from iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment, including"Hello Isaac," "Unf**cking the Future," "Big Sugar," "The Tao of Muhammad Ali," "Obscurum, and "The Secret World of Roald Dahl," which explore iconic figures, cultural flashpoints, and untold stories through deep reporting and cinematic storytelling.

Adulé par beaucoup, conspué par certains, le premier Premier ministre de la République du Congo Patrice Lumumba est devenu une référence internationale. La Revue d'Histoire Contemporaine de l'Afrique a consacré son 5ème numéro à Patrice Emery Lumumba afin de comprendre les mécanismes de construction d'une figure politique africaine mondialement connue, notamment en raison de son assassinat, commémoré de Paris à Kinshasa en passant par Pékin ou Accra. (Rediffusion) « Lumumba est un phénomène », écrivent nos deux invitées historiennes Élisabeth Dikizeko et Karine Ramondy, un phénomène global, imprimé dans les mémoires politiques, populaires et culturelles, transmises à ses héritiers, lumumbistes, artistes et militants, dans le monde entier. Les enfants de Patrice Lumumba, dont son fils cadet Roland disparu le 28 janvier 2026, très actif dans les démarches judiciaires visant à faire la lumière sur l'assassinat de son père en 1961, attendent le verdict du procès qui s'est ouvert à Bruxelles. Après des années d'enquête, le parquet fédéral a requis l'ouverture d'un procès pour « détention ou transfert illicite d'un prisonnier de guerre », « privation du droit à un procès équitable » et « traitements inhumains et dégradants. » En Belgique, un seul homme peut encore répondre d'une éventuelle responsabilité pénale, il s'agit de l'homme d'affaires et ancien diplomate Étienne Davignon, 93 ans.

Der Bauernsohn Patrice Émery Lumumba wächst in einer Kolonialgesellschaft auf, in der die belgische Oberschicht das Sagen hat. Das will er ändern - und schafft es, der erste Ministerpräsident eines freien Kongo zu werden. Doch vielen gefällt das nicht. Die belgische Presse denunziert Lumumba als Kommunisten, die USA fördern insgeheim einen ehrgeizigen jungen Offizier namens Joseph Mobutu, der einen Putsch gegen die junge Regierung organisiert. Von Gerda Kuhn (BR 2013). Ein Podcast von Alles Geschichte

After decades of Belgian rule, Congo gained independence in June 1960 under the leadership of the nation's first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba. However, hope was quickly shattered by Cold War rivalries and a fierce internal power struggle.  Lumumba's vision for a sovereign, prosperous Congo was crushed by forces that prevented the nation from ever realizing its true potential.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down a major Supreme Court of Canada hearing that could fundamentally change police powers to conduct random traffic stops. At the centre of the case is Lumumba, a challenge rooted in repeated arbitrary stops and clear evidence of racial profiling. The discussion explores whether individual Charter remedies are enough to address a systemic problem, how subconscious bias plays a role in policing, and whether highway safety can still justify unfettered stop powers decades after they were first approved. The episode also looks at data-driven traffic enforcement, the limits of police discretion, and another classic B.C. overpass strike in Ridiculous Driver of the Week.

Patrice Lumumba war nach dem Ende der brutalen Herrschaft der Belgier der erste demokratisch gewählte Regierungschef im Kongo. 1961 wurde er ermordet. Einer der Hauptverdächtigen lebt noch und könnte nun strafrechtlich angeklagt werden. Küpper, Moritz www.deutschlandfunk.de, Europa heute

Ce vendredi est jour férié en RDC, en hommage à Laurent-Désiré Kabila, président tué il y a 25 ans, jour pour jour. Quel souvenir en gardent-ils ? Sa résistance à une première attaque du Rwanda trouve-t-elle un écho dans le Congo d'aujourd'hui ? Les commanditaires de son assassinat sont-ils enfin identifiés ? L'historien Isidore Ndaywel est professeur à l'université de Kinshasa et siège à l'Académie congolaise des sciences. Il est aussi le vice-président de l'Académie africaine des sciences religieuses, sociales et politiques. En ligne de Kinshasa, il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Isidore Ndaywel, quel est le souvenir que gardent les Congolais de Laurent-Désiré Kabila ? Isidore Ndaywel : Je pense du positif. Le souvenir que laisse Laurent-Désiré Kabila est double. Le premier, c'est certainement le fait d'avoir permis à la société congolaise de renouer avec la mémoire de Lumumba. La mémoire de l'indépendance. Une mémoire qui avait été quelque peu occultée, manipulée, instrumentalisée pendant la longue période de Mobutu. Alors, le deuxième élément qui est le plus popularisé, c'est le fait d'avoir laissé presque cette phrase répétée souvent par la jeunesse congolaise : « Ne jamais trahir le Congo. » Alors vous parlez de Mobutu ? Laurent-Désiré Kabila est en effet l'homme qui a fait tomber le dictateur Mobutu. Mais est-ce qu'il n'est pas devenu lui-même un dictateur ? Oui, effectivement, il y a eu quelques erreurs. La première erreur, à mon avis, en prenant le pouvoir, c'est d'avoir voulu absolument agir en solo. S'il avait pu renouer à ce moment-là avec les grands leaders de l'opposition de l'époque, notamment Antoine Gizenga et Étienne Tshisekedi, et prendre en charge la crise démocratique qui était déjà en place avec la Conférence nationale souveraine, bien sûr, le scénario aurait pu être différent. C'est avec l'aide militaire du Rwanda que Laurent-Désiré Kabila a pris le pouvoir en 1997. Mais un an plus tard, il a renvoyé tous ses conseillers rwandais. La guerre a éclaté et une colonne rwandaise venue par avion à l'ouest de Kinshasa a marché sur la capitale. Comment Laurent-Désiré Kabila a-t-il réussi à s'en sortir ? Vous rappelez là une page vraiment triste et sombre pour les habitants de la capitale. Effectivement, à partir du 2 août 1998, après la mesure qu'il a prise de renvoyer ces mercenaires rwandais et ougandais, nous avons eu une attaque en règle du Rwanda en essayant de prendre à revers pratiquement le pays à partir de l'Ouest, et donc avec prise du barrage d'Inga et avec la coupure de courant. On a pu s'en sortir, simplement parce que Laurent-Désiré Kabila a pu négocier l'intervention de l'Angola et ensuite celle du Zimbabwe. Et c'est donc avec l'aide militaire de ces deux pays, l'Angola et le Zimbabwe, qu'il a sauvé son régime. Vingt-huit ans plus tard, est-ce que le régime de Félix Tshisekedi ne compte pas aussi sur une aide militaire étrangère pour repousser la nouvelle offensive appuyée par le Rwanda ? Je ne suis pas dans le secret des dieux, mais je pense que, dans la situation actuelle, le Congo ne peut pas sortir seul de ses difficultés, sans l'aide des pays africains alliés. Et en cela, il n'y a pas à en rougir. Le Congo, dans le passé, a également apporté son aide à un certain nombre de pays africains, notamment lorsqu'il a été question de la libération de ces différents pays, notamment l'Angola, dans la lutte contre l'apartheid, et lors de l'indépendance du Zimbabwe. Là, les forces armées congolaises, à l'époque zaïroises, étaient intervenues. Même au Tchad. Donc je pense que, dans la situation actuelle, le Congo n'a pas d'autre choix. Il y a 25 ans, jour pour jour, le 16 janvier 2001, Laurent-Désiré Kabila a été tué dans son bureau de Kinshasa par l'un de ses gardes du corps. Alors, parmi les suspects qui ont été évoqués, notamment dans le podcast que RFI a publié il y a cinq ans avec Arnaud Zajtman et Esdras Ndikumana, il y a un homme d'affaires libanais, Bilal Bakri, surnommé Héritier, qui s'est ensuite réfugié à Goma sous la protection des rebelles du RCD, appuyés à l'époque par le Rwanda. Qui étaient les commanditaires, à votre avis ? Bon, je pense que, pour tout ce qui se passe au Congo, il y a une lecture externe hors Congo qu'il faut mettre à l'avant-plan. Quand on connaît le rôle stratégique que représentent sur l'échiquier de l'économie mondiale les minerais du Congo, il est évident que ça n'a rien à voir avec des scénarios de type local. C'est quelque chose qui a été bien mené par des forces internationales pour pouvoir éliminer Laurent-Désiré Kabila.

Hey folks, Clay Edwards here from Save Jackson. For years, since back in 2018, I've been warning about potential corruption and shady dealings involving former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. I called him out for what I saw as red flags, but I got labeled a racist, a hater, and worse—just for daring to suggest the so-called "crowned prince of Jackson" wasn't the saint everyone painted him to be. Well, new court documents unsealed this week—and quickly resealed—seem to back up what I've been saying all along. These come from the federal bribery case against Lumumba, former Councilman Aaron Banks, and DA Jody Owens, tied to a downtown hotel deal. Owens filed a motion claiming entrapment, attaching FBI reports from a confidential informant dating back to 2017.   The allegations are explosive, focusing on Lumumba's alleged ties to drug dealers and unreported cash. According to the informant, Lumumba had close relationships with known traffickers, even helping them land city jobs and contracts. One dealer reportedly gave him a truck for his 2017 campaign and was eyeing city deals in return. The docs claim this individual had links to a Mexican drug cartel, laundering money through a Jackson nightclub that Lumumba allegedly visited 2-3 times a week, hanging out in the back room.   It gets worse: The informant says Lumumba once called then-Police Chief James Davis to shut down an investigation into one of these associates after an assault in downtown Jackson. Officers were told to stand down. Then there's the cash—thousands unreported. In one instance, Lumumba allegedly got $30,000 in campaign funds through his brother Hondo that never showed up on reports. Another time, in May 2021, after a late-night card game in Edwards where he played and smoked marijuana with his bodyguard, he walked away with $15,000 in cash from someone who supposedly collected bribes from city contractors.   Remember, Lumumba hasn't been charged on these specific claims yet, and informants can have motives like lighter sentences. But these FBI files paint a picture of deep corruption. The informant was connected to ex-Sheriff Marshand Crisler, who got prison time for bribery and gun charges.   I've been predicting this fallout for years, and now the truth is bubbling up. If you're in Jackson, stay tuned—we deserve better. For more, check SaveJxn on X.

Insufferable Turd of the Day Award Today's coveted golden toilet bowl goes to none other than William “Polo” Edwards, former Jackson-area radio personality, Facebook loudmouth, and convicted murderer. Polo (once a co-host on the same show years ago) is now serving life for shooting and killing a man in a dispute over a woman. After burning every bridge in local media, allegedly taking cash from the Lumumba camp to attack anyone who criticized the previous mayor, and spending years race-baiting and threatening people online, he finally crossed the one line you can't uncross. Now he's appealing his murder conviction, claiming the judge violated his rights by… making him represent himself after he fired his own attorney two weeks before trial and refused to get a new one. Classic Polo: break every rule, play the eternal victim, cry about the consequences. Host's closing words on the matter (delivered with a grin): “He felt ten-foot-tall and bulletproof for years, running his mouth and chasing clout. Turns out he wasn't. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Enjoy Parchman, Polo. Kiss my entire ass. ”Turd of the Day: thoroughly earned, fully flushed. 

“Time for an Awakening” with Bro. Elliott & Bro. Richard, Sunday 11/30/2025 at 6:00 PM (EST), the guest was lead organizers and spokespersons from around the country, Kamau Franklin (CMB), Sadiki Kambon (NLC), Nnamdi Lumumba (NBRPC), Obafemi Kinseidelele ( Race 1st Rally), and Patrick Lumumba ( Black Power Movement) in Mississippi. Our guests will inform us of the missions and accomplishments of the various organizations and how you can become involved in the objective of building unity and a structure for self-determination for Black people.

In a fiery, nearly 90-minute impromptu livestream from the Men's Health Mississippi studios, conservative Jackson radio host and social media personality Clay Edwards delivered a wide-ranging, unfiltered rant touching on local corruption, free speech hypocrisy, cultural decay, and several personal scores he's been waiting to settle.   Edwards opened by praising the Jackson City Council's newly passed ordinance banning city employees from having any relationships or business dealings with known drug dealers. Introduced by Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes and passing 6-0 (with one abstention), the measure was portrayed by Edwards as proof that Jackson has finally reached rock-bottom: “If your city has to pass a law telling its own employees ‘don't hang out with dope boys,' it's probably too late.” He tied the policy directly to decades of entrenched corruption in JPD, the DA's office, and city hall under previous administrations (especially the Lumumba era), citing stories of dirty cops escorting drug runs, DAs hiring dealers' relatives, and politicians co-owning nightclubs that everyone knows are money-laundering fronts. While calling the ordinance “ridiculous on its face,” he gave rare credit to the current council and Mayor John Horn for finally “adulting” and trying to clean house.   He then pivoted to Rankin County controversies, strongly opposing the Brandon “street preachers” (Gabriel Olivier and similar groups) whose Supreme Court case is now pending. Edwards, despite being a conservative Christian, ripped them as provocateurs who scream “Jezebel,” “drunkard,” and other fighting words at women and families just to bait assaults, sue, and play victim. He compared them to First Amendment auditors and local agitators who wear Foot Locker jerseys while baiting cops and citizens for payouts, insisting “this isn't preaching the Gospel; it's hate-speech grift.”   The stream took a personal turn when Edwards addressed rumors that local activist outlets are about to interview his ex-wife (whom he hasn't spoken to in nearly four years) in an obvious attempt to dig up dirt. He laughed it off, showed side-by-side photos of himself at his heaviest and most miserable during that marriage versus his current healthy self, and warned that if lies are platformed, he'll “uncork everything” about her alcoholism, rehab stints, and destructive behavior. He framed it as proof he's lived openly about his past mistakes and has nothing left to hide.   Other quick hits: -Called out vulgar, sexual Christmas merchandise openly displayed at Northpark Mall (“Jolly as fuck,” pierced mannequin breasts, dick-shaped gingerbread “eat me” ornaments) right by the kids' ride area as more evidence of nationwide cultural rot. -Accused Lane Kiffin of straight-up lying about Ole Miss fans trying to run him off the road on his way to the airport; Mississippi Highway Patrol confirmed they gave him an uneventful escort the entire way. -Gave continued (grudging) props to new Mayor John Horn for not playing identity-politics games and focusing on basic governance, while begging retired public-works veterans to return as consultants to restore institutional knowledge lost under the previous administration. Throughout, Edwards plugged his radio show (WYAB 103.9 FM, 7-9 a.m. weekdays), his “FAFO” merchandise, and free testosterone screenings at Men's Health Mississippi (text CLAY to 601-800-5130), repeatedly thanking viewers for super chats and engagement.   The stream was vintage Clay: profane, confrontational, self-deprecating, and packed with insider Jackson gossip, all delivered while he fought through chest inflammation and steroids, promising an even longer breakdown of many of these stories on his regular morning radio slot.  

In our last episode, author Stuart Reid peeled back the curtain on 'The Lumumba Plot,' the CIA's plan to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically-elected Prime Minister of the Congo. Station Chief Larry Devlin was central to the CIA's 1960 assassination plot. He never had to carry it out, but Lumumba was later killed in another plot that Devlin knew about, according to diplomatic cables released in 2013. Today, we'll share more of our conversation with Stuart Reid. But first, we're going back into our archives to bring you Devlin in his own words. In 2007, a year before he passed away, Devlin sat down with the International Spy Museum's Founding Director Peter Earnest to talk about his time in the Congo.

The Congo was just gaining its independence from Belgium in 1960 when its first democratically elected leader, Patrice Lumumba, faced an existential crisis: mutiny in his new army, followed by an unwelcome intervention by Belgian forces. Lumumba had hoped the U.S. would help, but when Washington turned its back, Lumumba turned to Moscow. And so began a CIA operation to assassinate Lumumba to stop the feared spread of Communism in Africa. The story is documented in The Lumumba Plot, a book by author Stuart Reid.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Love is the Message is back! After last series' mammoth 18-month excavation of the year 1977 we're switching things up a bit. While we'll continue to chart our rough way through the history explored in our work to date, for the moment we're going to focus on a few smaller, more bite-size topics, starting with the 2024 film Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat. A natural partner piece to our beloved Summer of Soul, Johan Grimonprez's documentary tracks in vivid and exhilarating style the Cold War episode that led American musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. On this show Tim and Jeremy discuss mid-Twentieth Century decolonialism, resistance and the activities of black jazz activists in America. We hear the history of the colonisation of Congo by Belgium, introduce Lumumba as a unique historical figure, and spend some time reflecting on how these imperial legacies resonate today. On the music front, we hear listen to Roach behind the kit, cue up a series of Congolese rhumbas and boleros, and close with seminal civil rights singer Nina Simone. Elsewhere in the episode we stop by Malcom X, Khrushchev, and Joseph Conrad. The horror, the horror…Edited by Matt Huxley.Tracklist:Max Roach - Freedom Day Ata Ndele - Adou Elenga Joseph Kabasele - Independence Cha-Cha O.K.
