On our July 4, 2012 Program:"Defining Independence on the African Continent"
The first leader of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, laid a foundation for democracy and economic independence for his nation and several African countries. He said, "The independence of Ghana would be meaningless unless it was linked with the total liberation of Africa." That journey continues to be a struggle against apartheid, social, political and economic injustice in nations across the continent.
Join us for this live one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast when host Shaka Ssali and his guests analyze what independence has meant for vast majority of the African people.
Guests:
Tebelelo Seretse
Ambassador of the Republic of Botswana to the U.S.
Professor Abdul Karim Bangura, Ph.D.
Department of Political Science
Howard University
