Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Van Jones is not your typical environmental activist. He spends most of his time working with disadvantaged communities in Oakland, CA. And he says that engaging marginalized groups is a signature challenge for a truly broad-based environmental movement. He joins Kojo and Howard to explore intersections between environmental and social justice, and discuss his idea to create “green collar” jobs in urban communities.
Guests
- Van Jones Attorney; civil rights advocate; and President, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (Oakland, CA)
- Howard Ross Diversity consultant; Principal, Cook Ross
