Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s been seventy-five years since World War I veterans from across the country descended on Washington asking for compensation that was rightfully theirs. But they were met with tear gas, police sticks and an active U.S. Army determined to send them away. Join Kojo as we explore the impact of this movement and a local exhibit commemorating it.
