This special broadcast features an audio reenactment of the infamous speech delivered by abolitionist Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852 in Rochester, New York when he challenged public opinion within White America over their hypocrisy related to the African slave system.

By the end of the 1850s there were approximately four million enslaved Africans in the United States and some 500,000 considered “free.” A bloody civil war would end legalized slavery but the practice of “virtual slavery” would continue for another century.

In addition to the message from Douglass we featured our regular Pan-African News Wire segment of the Pan-African Journal. The Pan-African News Wire is a twenty-four hour seven-days-a-week international news service edited by Abayomi Azikiwe.

We wish to encourage all of the listeners to the Pan-African Journal to share the programs by logging on to the Pan-African Radio Network at the following URL: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/panafricanjournal .
