On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.

The chair of the us civil rights commission, Dr. Mary Frances Berry, joins Kojo to discuss her new book which examines legal cases from the time of the civil war to the present, and asks what we can learn about our culture from the approach we take to justice.
