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 story of Motown music is more than the simple story of a small record company making it big with cross-over audience appeal. Kojo is joined by author Suzanne Smith whose new book on Motown explores the integral role Motown’s artists played in the politically charged civil rights struggles of Detroit and the nation.
