Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As politicians work to capture “the black vote,” they sometimes fail to realize that the attitude, politics, issues, and advocacy of youth raised after the civil rights era is quite different from that of their parents. A panel joins Kojo to discuss the changing political issues and influences on today’s young African-Americans.
