Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
From a childhood in segregated Harlem, former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown rose to the upper echelons of American politics. But his untimely death in 1996 left many questions unanswered. New York Times reporter Steven Holmes joins Kojo to discuss Brown’s life, his dealmaking, and his ability to confront stereotypes of race, class, and politics.
