Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In early 1960s, just after Fidel Castro’s coup, the Catholic Church, the US, and scared Cuban parents operated a covert program which transported more than 14,000 children alone from Cuba to the US. Kojo hosts a discussion examining this unique unknown chapter of the Cold War, who was involved, and what happened to the children orphaned on our shores.
Guests
- Yvonne Conde Author
- Monsignor Bryan Walsh Director Emeritus of Catholic Charities (was Director from 1955-1996)
