Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Jim Asendio
It’s one of the lesser-known moments in American civil rights history. When thousands of Chinese Americans were forcibly expelled from California. Find out about a 19th century event that led to the largest act of civil disobedience in American history, and what it might teach us about the immigration and day laborer fights going on today.
Guests
