Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
At the height of the Vietnam War, thousands of young Americans evaded the draft by crossing over the border to Canada. More than three decades later, a smaller number of American soldiers are once again seeking asylum up North, this time to avoid deployment to Iraq. Kojo explores how their cases are dividing the Canadian courts and public opinion.
Guests
