Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
How do we see the black body — and soul? From the perspective of a white cheerleader in Texarkana to a hungry black poet in D.C., we explore race as it is lived and experienced. We’ll talk with the editor and two authors of a collection of essays on the black body.

- Meri Nana-ama Danquah Author and editor "The Black Body" (Seven Stories Press)
- Kenny Carroll Is a writer, educator, and Heads Up site director at Charles Hart Middle School.
