The first episode in June is the second listeners’ Appreciation show for the year. It is one of the
quarterly specials in which we acknowledge the support of our listeners for the show. The
episode is the first of several shows over the next two months that focuses on the 2022 Mandela
Washington Fellowship Leadership in Civic Engagement Institute at UGA from July 8 to July
17, 2022. The episode introduces the institute and the UGA team hosting it. The episode shares
our sad and distressful reactions to the recent tragic mass shootings in America, calling for
immediate action by elected officials to end the plaque of mas shootings in the country. The
episode also features two African news updates from Sudan with the lifting of the state of
emergency and the Sahel where violence is increasing in Mali and Burkina Faso and threatening
more of the region. The episode rounds up with the announcement and invitation for listeners to
Africa in Athens, the first community event for the 2022 MW Fellowship institute taking place at
the GA Museum of Art at 12 noon on Saturday, June 11, 2022. As always, the episode features
selected enjoyable music from Africa and/or by Africans including selected tunes from the
collection, Diaspora for Africa and tracks from the Africa Worldwide 35th Anniversary album
by Tabu Ley Rochereau and the Afrisa International Orchestra.
