The Hoover History Lab held a new book talk with Stuart A. Reid: The Lumumba Plot: the Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination (Knopf, 2023) on October 17, 2023 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm.

United States-African relations have multiple dimensions, and quite a bit of history. One aspect involves coups. Almost immediately after Congo became independent from Belgium in 1960, the CIA station in Leopoldville, the capital, received an order from Washington that Congo’s new leader, Patrice Lumumba, should be removed. Congolese rebels, backed by the CIA, assassinated him. Joseph Mobutu, originally a Lumumba loyalist, eventually seized power, also with U.S. backing. Mobutu’s misrule lasted decades, and wreaked devastation. Stuart Reid has uncovered new documents and new aspects to this episode, which formed part of a larger story of the U.S. in the Cold War in what was then called the Third World.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Powered by Nyame! In this installment, we continue our look at the common principles across human societies by which some form of unity is achieved, apply them to the African world--or the worldwide African diaspora--and offer not a solution (hint: you have to watch the video to find out why!) but a way to approach the topic.

Welcome to Powered by Nyame! In this week's episode, we focus on the topic of power. In this political season, it's important to step back from the campaigns and sloganeering and consider what is and isn't power and the kinds of powers the exist in our world. All power(s) rest on manipulation and inspiration. We hope this episode inspires.
