Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 1902, W.E.B. DuBois declared “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” And for ninety-eight years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People existed at the forefront of race and public policy. But some feel the nation’s biggest civil rights organization is facing an identity crisis, even as race continues to dominate headlines. We explore the future of the NAACP.
