Welcome to this week's episode of Make it Plain. Kehinde opens up with an update about the Black Studies and shares that he has been served his papers. Pending one last appeal Black Studies is closed and 3 out of the 5 staff members, including Kehinde, will be out of their jobs by the end of July. Please support by signing the petition, link below, or email David Mba (David.mba@bcu.ac.uk) on of two Black Vice Chancellors in the country who is supposedly a champion of Black staff and students. He then reflects on England's success in the World Cup and warns us not to get carried away with all the praise for Black players. Jude Bellingham is just one missed penalty away from being called a monkey on social media! He also laughs at the prospect of Nigel Farage being beaten in an election by Count Binface...yes a man dressed up as an alien with a large silver bin on his head! It would be the funniest political moments in history, and well deserved for the foul Farage. This episode features an interview with Badji Alfousseynou, who was on the West African Road Residency, on the bus from the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora in Ghana, to the Convention for Afrikan People in Gambia. Badji was the diplomat for the bus in Francophone Africa, and the most staunch Pan-Africanist Kehinde has ever met. They talk about the trip Badji's work in the community in Senegal and the prospects for a Pan-African future.
