Burning Spear Media and Black Power Radio present:
A special two-hour episode of One Africa Worldview Podcast, dedicated to letting you know about the history-making impact of the major tornado that hit North St. Louis 2 weeks ago, and to invite you to support the massive recovery effort that is underway.
On Friday, May 16th a tornado swept through St. Louis, MO, devastating the northside African community. Homes and personal properties were destroyed. Uhuru Movement projects and member’s personal homes were also severely impacted. Lives were lost. The heaviest impact is concentrated in the African community. But the people are fighting back and rebuilding our community!
