Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For over a century, it’s been our national myth: that our character as Americans was bred by rugged individualism and the open frontier. But Andro Linklater argues that the West was never without borders. He joins Kojo to discuss how the lines drawn by early surveyors influenced our earliest sense of national identity.
