Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Hundreds of thousands of roadside markers and monuments teach travellers about America’s history, but many of them lack historical accuracy. Historian James Loewen joins Kojo to discuss some of the most egregious cases of mistaken history and what the public can learn when inaccuracies and intentional mistakes are carved into stone.
