Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Georgetown University
For 75 years between Georgetown University’s founding and Maryland’s abolition of slavery, the school owned and sold slaves. Its largest sale of 272 individuals resurfaced in 2015 after the school formed a working group to acknowledge its slave past. Since then, students have protested with sit-ins and hashtags. Now that the group has released its formal recommendations, Kojo gets reactions from students and faculty on the university’s decisions to make amends for its slave past.
