Today on Lumumba's Africa, 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: 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.
