Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Many Americans are familiar with the story of what happened at Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957, when nine black teenagers were escorted into the previously all-white school by National Guardsmen. Guest Host Korva Coleman speaks to sociologist Beth Roy, whose new book offers a look at that historical moment through oral histories.
