Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Have a half-century of efforts aimed at advancing the rights of black Americans actually had the opposite effect? Research scholar Shelby Steele argues that many programs designed to remedy racial disparities have more to do with self-satisfaction of white Americans than improving the lives of Blacks. He joins Kojo to discuss his provocative thesis.
