In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor looks at the realities of child labor in the colonized Africa. We delve into the grim details of the conditions children were forced to work in, and the brutal punishments they had to endure.

Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
