It's Black History Month in the USA, and in this episode, we want to honor and recognize Black activism globally, particularly the African American civil rights movement. For this occasion, we are joined by special guest Professor Asafa Jalata, who authored the book “Fighting Against the Injustice of the State and Globalization: Comparing the African American and Oromo Movements". We discuss the origins and meaning of Black History Month, and Professor Asafa shares his insightful knowledge on the quests of the African American and Oromo movements to dismantle colonialism, slavery and racial/ethno-national hierarchies, and the relationship between these movements. Listen and let us know what you think at (+1) 430-755-0727 (voicemail or text), or reach us on our Instagram or Twitter @TeamFreeOromia.
