Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Activist and playwright Janet Langhart Cohen is used to grappling with racial and ethnic tension. A protege of Martin Luther King, she later went on to co-author a memoir about interracial relationships with her husband, former US Senator (R-ME) and former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Kojo talks with her about her latest work, a play exploring the common threads of struggle in the African American and Jewish experience.
