Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Comedian Bill Cosby ignited a firestorm last year when he turned a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of ‘Brown v. Board of Education’ into a sharply critical lamentation of the parenting skills and values of some in the African American community. Now, humanities professor and scholar Michael Eric Dyson rebuts Bill Cosby and examines the stereotypes he says undermine many of the racist and elitist arguments on the subject.
Guests
- Michael Eric Dyson Author, "Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?" (Perseus); and Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania
