Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Some 25,000 American soldiers held as POWs during World War II were used as slave labor by Japanese companies. Kojo learns why the veterans can’t sue the companies or Japan for restitution, and why they hope the U.S. Congress will compensation them for their labor.
