Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Martin Luther King is an icon — THE symbol of the civil rights movement. But renowned scholar Michael Eric Dyson wants to make sure we appreciate the man, and not just the myth. Dyson joins Kojo to discuss the unknown and often intentionally forgotten details of King’s life as a flawed and ordinary man who accomplished extra-ordinary things.
Guests
- Michael Eric Dyson Author, "Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?" (Perseus); and Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania
