From the Archives: Fanachu Episode 6 (2017): What You Need to Know About War Reparations with Robert Underwood

From the Fanachu archives - here is the sixth ever episode of Fanachu, recorded and hosted by the Godfather and Founder of Fanachu - Manny Cruz way back in 2017. 

Fanachu was started by Manny Cruz through the Media Committee for Independent Guåhan and many of those early episodes were recorded either in classrooms in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building at the University of Guam or by Manny taking a mic mobile for an interview. 

For this episode, hosted by Manny Cruz, he spoke with then President of UOG and former Guam delegate to the US Congress Robert Underwood about an issue that had been ongoing for decades, but was at the time of recording, coming to a somewhat problematic close, that of Chamoru World War II reparations. 

Combining his years of experiences as an activist, a scholar and also his time in Congress pushing for this issue and others, Underwood talks about war reparations and how it has always been about righting a wrong the right way, within the limited realm of possibility in Congress always deadlocked and distracted. 

This episode was produced by Manny Cruz and later premiered on Soundcloud on January 5, 2017.
