Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A woman spends two months in jail for throwing a cup of ice at a car. Did it matter that she’s black? A former basketball pro generates controversy when he says he “hates gay people”. Was it his word choice or ideas that landed him in hot water? Kojo and Howard Ross explore how conscious and subconscious bias frame today’s news and views.
