Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on the Bush administration’s nomination of a controversial African-American to the federal bench, many prominent black leaders are mobilizing in opposition. Groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus have argued that Judge Janice Rogers Brown is a conservative ideologue with a history of opposing the rights of African Americans. White and Black conservative groups have accused liberals of hypocrisy and racism. Join Kojo and guests for a discussion on race, ideology, and the courts.
