Podcasts about pan african congress

The African National Congress (ANC) was banned on this day in 1960. In 1912, the ANC emerged as South Africa's governing party with a founding aim to secure equal rights for non-whites. In response to the onset of segregation in 1913, the ANC adopted strategies to confront discriminatory policies. Notably, Nelson Mandela, among other members, spearheaded the creation of the Youth League, advocating for more assertive measures against apartheid. By 1960, tensions mounted, leading to the tragic Sharpeville Massacre, where 69 protesters lost their lives at the hands of South African police. Consequently, both the ANC and the Pan-African Congress were banned by the government on April 8, 1960. Mandela faced arrest and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Over time, the organization garnered international support, resulting in its legalization in South Africa in February 1990. The apartheid regime finally crumbled in 1993, and Mandela, upon his release, became president in 1994. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Guardian journalist and Cotton Capital special correspondent Lanre Bakare examines Black Mancunian history, beginning with the 1945 Pan-African Congress that took place in the city and shaped independence movements across Africa

In this episode I spoke with historian Chad Williams about his latest book-"The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois and the First World War" We discussed the legacy of Du Bois; his views on identity and double consciousness; World War I and it's causes; the role of black americans and black soldiers in World War I; the connection between race, capitalism, socialism, and the labor movements of the early 20th century; the Great Migration and it's impacts on American society; racial violence directed at African Americans during this time period; Woodrow Wilson; the Pan-African Congress; as well as how Du Bois should be remembered.  Chad Williams is the Samuel J. and Augusta Spector Professor of History and African and African American Studies at Brandeis University. He specializes in African American and modern United States History, African American military history, the World War I era and African American intellectual history. He is the author of Torchbearers of Democracy: African American Soldiers in the World War I Era, as well as co-editor of Charleston Syllabus: Readings on Race, Racism and Racial Violence and Major Problems in African American History. Chad has published articles and book reviews in numerous leading academic journals and collections, as well as op-eds and essays in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Time, and The Conversation. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reflectinghistory Check out my podcast series on Piranesi, Arcane, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart here: https://www.reflectinghistory.com/bonuscontent Try my audio course "Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart"-- Why do 'good' people support evil leaders?

After briefly being sidetracked over the departure of our favourite Guardian columnist, we take a dive into the history of black radical politics in the UK with the celebrated writer, musician and like 10 other jobs Chardine Taylor Stone. From the 1945 Pan-African Congress in Manchester organised by George Padmore and Kwame Nkrumah, to the Windrush deportations organised by Amber Rudd, Chardine paints a warm but so often tragic tale of black political life in Britain. We also discuss whether the Queen's Gambit actor and Arg*ntine Anya Taylor-Joy is really a POC (no lol). /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Ruairi Guest: Chardine Taylor Stone Production: Aarjan Music: Cardio /// Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop

The 5th Pan-African Congress was held in Manchester in 1945 to shape the post-war struggle against colonialism and racial discrimination. Prominent black activists, intellectuals and trade union leaders from around the world attended the meeting - among them Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta, the future leaders of independent Ghana and Kenya. We delve into the archive to hear from one of the delegates, the late ANC activist and writer Peter Abrahams, and we speak to the historian Prof Hakim Adi from Chichester University about the significance of the meeting.

[Image: Claudia Jones Paul Robeson Amy A Garvey with friends in London England, Source: Source Pan African News Wire] W.E.B. Du Bois (1933) in, Pan-Africa and new racial philosophy, presents his early articulations of Pan Africanism as “the industrial and spiritual emancipation of the Negro people” wherever they are in the world. George Padmore (1955) in, Pan Africanism or Communism, asserts that “the idea of Pan Africanism first arose as a manifestation of fraternal solidarity among Africans and peoples of African descent" (95). I have explored in, Pan-Africanism in the United States: Identity and Belonging, why Pan-African discourse is not a dominant expression in African diasporic resistance in the U.S. today. This is not to say a Pan-African discourse is not present at all, but when situated in the historical and intellectual genealogy of African decedent experiences in the U.S., it is marginal at best. Even with this contextualization, the marginalization of Africana women in the formation and evolution of Pan African thought and practice is important to center. This disarticulation has distorted the historical narrative of radical and Pan African thought of the fact that in “early coverage of the 1900 Pan-African Congress reveals delegates, “all eminent in their sphere” who represented the United States, Canada, Ethiopia, Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the then Gold Coast, most of the islands of the then British West Indies included Miss Anna Jones (Kansas), and Mrs. Annie Cooper (i.e. Anna Julia Cooper) (Washington, D.C.) among others (see Adi & Sherwood 2003, for listings). Mabel Dove Danquah attended the 2nd Pan African Congress. Her husband Joseph Boakye Danquah, himself a major pan-Africanist was one of the African students that Amy Ashwood Garvey nurtured in the West African Students Union in London (Davies, 2014: 80). Adelaide Casely Hayford, who married the pan-Africanist J.E. Casely Hayford in 1903 and as a pan-Africanist herself, briefly held the position of lady president of the UNIA branch in Freetown, Sierra Leone. She spent two years in the U.S. studying girls schools, became an associate of U.S. women like Nannie Burroughs, and would later develop her own school for girls. In 1927 she attended the fourth Pan-African Congress in New York (Davies, 2014: 80). Today, we explore the current rebellion through a Pan African lens with Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity. Africans Rising is a Pan-African movement of people and organizations. Next, you will hear, in order, of speaking: Coumba Toure, co-coordinator of Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity; Hakima Abbas, executive co-director of the Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID); M. Adams, community organizer and co-executive director of Freedom Inc; Taalib Saber, Pan Africanist, filmmaker and principal attorney at The Saber Firm, LLC, where he practices Education and Special Education Law, Civil Rights, and Personal Injury Law; Dimah Mahmoud, co founder of the Nubia Initiative, a humanist, activist, and passionate change-maker; Gacheke Gachihi, Coordinator, Mathare Social Justice Center and member, Social Justice Centres Working Group in Nairobi, Kenya; and Yoel Haile, Criminal Justice Program Manager with the ACLU of Northern California. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

William Monroe Trotter was among the richest, best-educated, and most-well-connected African-American men in the United States--and he dedicated every ounce of his privilege into helping his fellow black Americans. By 1919, he had fought with the elder statesmen of his community, been arrested in protests over "Birth of a Nation," and denounced Woodrow Wilson's racial policies to president's face. But 1919 would bring one of Trotter's greatest challenges: he would need to learn how to peel potatoes. William Monroe Trotter was one of the most significant civil rights leaders in Amerian history, yet he is little remembered today. Trotter crossed the Atlantic on the SS Yarmouth as assistant cook--a strange position for a Harvard graduate with two degrees and a Phi Beta Kappa key. Trotter's father James Monroe Trotter fought in the 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. Afterward, he served as the first Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, a lucrative position where he earned a small fortune. James' only son William would inherit both wealth and influence, but James insisted that this privilege should be employed to fight for African-American rights. In 1899, William Monroe Trotter married Geraldine Pindell, known by friends and family as Deenie. She was passionate about civil rights as her husband. A year after his marriage, Trotter decided to fulfill the mission laid upon him by his father by publishing a newspaper, The Guardian. The weekly was dedicated to exposing racial issues across the United States.

“As I face Africa, I ask myself: What is it between us that constitutes a tie that I can feel better than I can explain?” This was a question W.E.B. Du Bois asked himself in 1940 and we might imagine time and again before and after that moment. It was the question that guided his scholarship and his activism. Africa, was as Nahum Dmitri Chandler has argued, “the limit of the world,” and thus we might say, the beginning of Du Bois's imagination for a future world, free of the toil and misery of modernity. How to explain this feeling was also how to produce an epistemological break that would generate a liberative politics out of that very feeling. Born 150 years ago on February 23, 1868, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois began his journey back to the future through his grandmother Violet's memory of a song her ancestors brought from Africa. It was that song which he heard again in the churches he visited while attending Fisk University. The search for the meaning of that song took him to the libraries of all the major Western universities, whilst becoming the first African to receive a PhD from Harvard. And then to Atlanta, where he found it being sang again in the deep South. He wrote about it in The Negro, published in 1915 and then attempted to place the urgency of the plight of its producers before the international community with his series of Pan African Conferences during the 1920s. He then connected it to the Mother herself, with his 1924 trip to Liberia. Its meaning was loudest to him in 1945, where in Manchester England, a younger Du Bois discoverers of what it meant to be African in the world during the 5th Pan African Congress, inaugurating in many respects the African independence movements. A year later, he sat down to remap his earlier works on Africa in his major undertaking, The World and Africa. He connected the song back to the soil when he left the United States to live permanently in the Ghana imagined by Kwame Nkrumah's movement. And it was there where he uttered the words: “Awake, awake, O sleeping world,Honour the sun;Worship the stars, those vaster sunsWho rule the nightWhere black is brightAnd all unselfish work is rightAnd greed is sin. And Africa leads on;Pan Africa...” And so it must lead… We will think of W.E.B. Du Bois as more than a narrator of American racial experiences, but as one who understood those experiences to be “but a local phase of a world problem.” Or we will not think truly with Du Bois. For this is what his work ultimately meant, and what it should continue to mean for us. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native, indigenous, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.

Niche Radio — Today’s episode is a #DoctorSpotlight: an opportunity to get to know a doctor; what they believe in, what they stand for and to just develop a feel for who they are. I met Dr Laskery (www.icwcape.wix.com/icwcape ) at the Pan African Congress on Integrative Medicine (PACIM) in Cape Town. She was one of the younger faces in the audience of over 200 specialists and practitioners, which for me is quite exciting. Why? Well, the concepts in integrative medicine are based in age-old traditions and from my experience, the old guards of medicine acknowledge IM, its place and its numerous benefits to their patients but the challenge lies in convincing many of today’s doctors and specialists about the merits of including complimentary practices into their current model of treatment. The cohort of Baby Boomer/Gen X doctors have really been trained up in the disease diagnosis manner of treating patients and they’re from an era where patients somehow ceased to be considered people. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Dr Sedicka Laskery, who has been mentored and trained by PACIM convenor and SA Society of Integrative Medicine founder, Dr Bernard Brom. She believes that Integrative Medicine is about bringing the science and heart medicine together, allowing a doctor to see a patient as a person – someone with hopes and dreams – not just a human presenting with symptoms of a disease that needs to be treated. In this episode, she talks to us about why she decided to pursue this avenue of medicine, the various lifestyle factors she uses to treat her patients, the benefits of natural birth we often don’t discuss, her personal struggle with dermatitis as well as some practical gut healing steps you can implement today!

Niche Radio — Heraclitus said that the only constant in life is change, yet it appears that we as humans are struggling to adapt to the constantly changing world we find ourselves living in. And as the speed of that change increases, we need mechanisms and hacks to help us adapt, slow down and respond to life as opposed to merely reacting. One of these hacks, believe it or not, is better communication! Ha! Who would have thought we can talk our way to better health?! Well, I absolutely loved my chat with the incredibly dapper and super intelligent, Dr Daniel Weber because his thoughts on diseases such as cancer are quite refreshing: he believes that cancer in the body is a breakdown of communication within the cells and that this is a mirror of current, modern-day life! He refers to social media as the ‘junk food of communication’ because it offers us all the bells and whistles, but with no real nutritional value! Isn’t that true! Now I’m not knocking social media, it certainly has its place and carries a great deal of benefits and without it how would I communicate with you? But, as with anything in life, if something is not used for its intended or true purpose, that constitutes abuse (misuse) and we can definitely abuse social media, using it in a manner that doesn’t necessarily serve us. We are thus challenged by Dr Weber to transform our thinking around communication, which can lead to transformative health! You can follow Dr Weber’s blog and access his resources on http://www.panaxea.com/index-newwebsite.php/about-daniel-weber.html and if you, or someone you know, is fighting cancer check out his blog on http://integrativecancernetwork.com http://integrativecancernetwork.com.

Niche Radio — Hey guys! I’m so excited to start podcasting about health topics for Niche Radio and to kick things off I attended the Pan African Congress on Integrative Medicine (http://integrativemedicinecongress.com) out at the Spier Wine Estate & Farm in Cape Town. Health and medical practitioners from all over the world descended upon the Mother City to discuss the future of healthcare: Integrative Medicine. According to the South African Institute of Integrative Medicine (http://integrativemedicine.co.za/about/), “Integrative Medicine recognises the holistic and unique nature of human beings, which encompasses physio-energetic information systems. It investigates the multifactorial causes of disease. In this approach the practitioner and the sick individual form a team working towards an integrated protocol of management best suited for that person. The priority is to support health using the least invasive and most natural approach; this does not exclude symptomatic treatment of disease, where appropriate.” I chatted to the Congress convener, Dr Bernard Brom, a practicing Integrative doctor for more than 35 years and we chat about what IM is and why it’s taken this long to change the mindsets of the medical world, the idea of non-drug doctors as well as why he decided to give up medicine over forty years ago! Enjoy! Stace

The future of the Pan African Congress of Azania hangs in the balance - with the party at risk of not contesting the upcoming local government elections. The IEC is giving the party a cold shoulder - until it resolves its internal leadership battles. The party has split into two factions since the expulsion of Letlapa Mphahlele as party president in 2013, with both sides claiming legitimacy over the brand. The IEC says it will not allow either of the two groups to contest any elections until the leadership issue is resolved. Senior political journalist Amos Phago reports.
