Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Damu Smith has been a passionate community organizer and peace activist influencing debate in Washington DC for more than 30 years. So when he was diagnosed earlier this year with a life-threatening disease, friends were not surprised that Damu viewed it as an opportunity to once again raising awareness — this time about the economic and racial inequities inherent in American’s healthcare system. Join us for a look at the issue.
Guests
- Damu Smith Activist; and founder, Black Voices for Peace With Justice
- Sharon Baskerville Executive Director, D.C. Primary Care Association
- Gail Christopher, D.N. Vice President for Health, Women, and Families at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies
