Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
While some historians say the U-S has been moving steadily toward the end of racial discrimination, others say progress towards equality has only occurred in brief periods, with long periods of stagnation and retrenchment in between. Kojo speaks with two scholars about the political and economic progress of race issues in America.
