Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
This month, PBS stations around the nation are airing “Eyes on the Prize,” a documentary series that first aired in 1987. Considered the definitive documentary of the civil rights movement by many, the series has not been viewed in more than 13 years due to copyright problems. Juan Williams joins Kojo to talk about his role in the project.
