Remembering Patrice Lumumba
'On the 30th June 2020. Juliana Lumumba wrote a letter directly to Phillippe King of the Belgians with a special request: That the remains of her father be repatriated to his homeland so that he would no longer be, in her words ‘a hero without a grave.’
Inspired by recent events to mark the Independence Day celebration of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tracy DW dedicates this podcast episode to the country's Revolutionist and first Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. A man who was dedicated to making his country a better place to live and making a better life for his people but was tragically cut down before reaching his prime and fulfilling his promise.
Despite the fact that The Congo was never a British colony, Britain had mining interests in the Congo's vast natural resources and this was seen as part of the wider process at work that conspired to remove Lumumba from power and ultimately bring about his demise.
This podcast is closely related to Tracy's poetic narrative 'Nights at the Round Table-the Berlin Conference 1884' and 'Gone with the Wind-Macmillan's speech for Change available in all formats from https://storiestobetolled.com
