Austerity and imperialist wars are the mainstay of the world capitalist system in 2014. In Italy on April 12 thousands demonstrated against the massive cutbacks in salaries, high unemployment and the reductions in public services.

On that same day people in Eastern Ukraine continued their efforts to disassociate themselves from the fascist coup that has been carried out in the capital of Kiev in the West. Pro-Russian demonstrations in several cities seized government buildings and police stations demanding a referendum on independence from Kiev and federation with Russia.

Imperialist military forces are running rampant all over the African continent. The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), the European Union Force (EUFOR) and NATO are engaging in operations aimed at maintaining and enhancing the exploitation of African resources and labor.

In the second half of this program we present part one of a tribute to Paul Leroy Robeson (1898-1976), the legendary African American artist, athlete, organizer and social scientist, whose life was dedicated to the liberation of African people worldwide as well as humanity in general.

Robeson was perhaps the most widely known African in the world during the period between World War I and World War II. His involvement with the Communist and Pan-African Movements made him a target of the United States government during the Cold War.

Listen to this program and share it with other potential listeners.
