Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Rosa Parks has become a myth and a legend, the symbol of America’s struggle with civil rights. But little is known of her personal life story. Historian Douglas Brinkley joins Kojo to discuss her long and arduous journey from Tuskeegee Alabama in the nineteen-teens to her life today in twenty-first century Detroit.
