Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The story of how pilgrims and Indians came together for a Thanksgiving meal is a deeply-ingrained piece of American lore. But the details of that feast and its relationship to modern Thanksgiving meals are unknown to most of us. Join us for a look at the holiday’s history and how our traditions have changed since the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621.
Guests
- Andrew Lewis Assistant Professor of History, American University
- Kathleen Curtin Food Historian, Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth, MA
