Beyond colonialism — The 77 Percent

June 5, 2025

This week’s show explores colonialism’s lasting impact on Africans today. We begin in the DRC, where oral history preserves rich identities and traditions. Next, we examine colonial ripple effects—fading traditions and diluted identities through Myra’s quest to reinvent ancestral knowledge. In Namibia, the street debate centers on the colonial past and the path forward.
