Tune in Saturday, January 11, 10:00 AM, to Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements.

The fight for justice often crosses borders. In this episode of Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements, we delve into the solidarity movement that shaped U.S.-Panama relations during the 1970s and 1980s. As the incoming U.S. President hints at retaking control of the Panama Canal, this issue resurfaces with urgency, reminding us of a pivotal chapter in history when Philadelphia stood at the forefront of change.

Joining host Pedro Rodriguez is Mary Day Kent, a Northwest Philadelphia resident and president of the local chapter of the United Nations Association. Kent was deeply involved in the grassroots efforts that amplified the Panamanian people’s demands to reclaim control of the Panama Canal. These efforts helped pressure the Carter Administration to sign the Torrijos-Carter Treaties in 1977, ensuring the canal’s transfer to Panama by 1979.

This episode sheds light on how Philadelphians organized events, educated the public, and built coalitions with Panamanian activists to challenge imperialist narratives. Kent shares her firsthand experiences, insights into the strategies that worked, and reflections on the ongoing significance of this historic victory for sovereignty and international solidarity.

Don’t miss this inspiring episode that reminds us why learning history is essential to creating change.
