In the first part of this mini-series, Winston James, the eminent scholar of Pan-African history talks to Kwesi Owusu about the life of Claude Mckay, the Jamaican-born, American writer and poet and the events that inspired his most famous poem, “If We Must Die”. Rare archival records, including the original recording of McKay’s poem, vintage music and powerful testimonies evoke the summer of 1919, one of the most sordid periods in American history.
