Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A young albino girl with her mother in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, on 2015's International Albinism Awareness Day.
The thousands of Africans living with Albinism face a range of health issues, but also stigma, ostracism and physical threats. In recent years, dozens have been killed in places like Tanzania, where traditional witch doctors claim the limbs of people with Albinism bring wealth and good luck. We speak to groups working to change attitudes, provide medical assistance, and pressure officials to address the issues.
