Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Earlier this month, Cubans celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. With the island facing difficult economic stresses and lingering questions about leadership, we look at Cuba’s past, present, and future — and assess what President-elect Obama will face when he turns his attention to Cuba-American relations.
