The 2026 United Nations General Assembly met during what is arguably the most dangerous time in global affairs since the Cuban Missile crisis. We hear one view from the global majority, by Mia Motley, prime minister of Barbados. And as we live in a time of monumental changes on the world stage, we also live in a time of giants falling all around us. DC celebrates the life of artist and educator Uzikee Allen Nelson, and the world remembers master calypsonian The Mighty Sparrow. Plus headlines on world affairs with Professor Gerald Horne.
