Today on Lumumba’s Africa, the professor turns his gaze to Haile Selassie I—the last emperor of Ethiopia. A reformer and autocrat, a Pan-Africanist and a dictator, Selassie remains a study in contradiction. But for a continent under siege, his symbolic weight was immense. He was the defiant leader who stood up, held the line, and reminded the world that Africa was not for the taking.
This is a story of resistance, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of a people who refused to bow to imperialism. Tune in.

Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
