Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Clinton presidential campaigns of nineteen-ninety-two and ninety-six were credited with getting young voters to the polls, but still, nearly forty percent of all nonvoters are between eighteen and thirty years of age. Kojo speaks with some of the people behind “Y Vote 2000,” a project designed to “reconnect young Americans with the political process.”
