Today on Black Power Talks we uplift and look at the importance of May 19th to the anticolonial struggle for liberation. Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. Malcolm’s Birthday is an important day of political organization. Just six days before African Liberation Day, May 25th, Malcolm’s birthday is often celebrated as an important kick off to a week-long mobilization for African Independence.
Malcolm shares his birthday with Ho Chi Minh and Yuri Kochiyama. May 19 has often underscored the importance of Afro-Asian Solidarity. In this episode we explore this alongside the importance of May 19 to anti-colonial struggle for liberation of African and colonized people around the world.
This episode contains excerpts from the #OmaliTaughtMe episode entitled "Remember May 19: Uplifting Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh" featuring Chairman Omali Yeshitela and our very own Matsemela Odom. The full video of the talk can be viewed at The Burning Spear TV Youtube Channel.
Black Power Talks is produced by WBPU 96.3 FM "Black Power 96" in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is hosted by Dr. Matsemela Odom and Dexter Mlimwengu, bringing an African Internationalist perspective to the important issues of our world.
