Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Laramie, Wyoming. Not the place one would expect to become ground zero for a discussion of homosexuality and hate crimes in America. But exactly two years ago, when Matt Shepard died, it became just that. Join Kojo for a discussion the politics of sexuality — and the way Laramie’s response is a virtual case study of what is perhaps the most divisive issue facing America.
