Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
John Lindsay was a liberal Republican reformer with movie-star looks. He was supposed to bring glamour and hope to New York City when he became mayor in 1965. But instead his career and the city crumbled. Join Kojo for a look into the political life of a man once dubbed the "White Knight."
