Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It was the first English settlement in America, eclipsing the Pilgrims by 13 years. As Jamestown approaches its 400th birthday, there’s renewed interest in the settlement and its now-legendary leader, John Smith. Join Kojo for a discussion of Jamestown’s history and lore — and learn more about archaeologists’ new discoveries at the site.
