Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
No one likes a turn-coat — just ask Benedict Arnold. But when it comes to race, accusations of betrayal can be particularly offensive. As the country focuses its attention on South Carolina, and debates the role race may (or may not) play in the Democratic primary, Kojo speaks with legal historian Randall Kennedy about the unique stigma that attaches when one is labeled a racial sell-out.
Guests
- Randall Kennedy Michael R. Klein Professor of Law at Harvard University Law School; and author of "Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal" (Pantheon)
