Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Rebecca Roberts
Dorothy Height was a passionate advocate, a tireless feminist, and an elegant and occasionally rabble-rousing community activist for more than sixty years. A key figure in the civil rights era and confidante of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Height fought for desegregation, voting rights and housing opportunities. Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004, Ms. Height passed away today, still an active voice in America’s fight for racial and social equality for all.
Guests
- Eleanor Holmes Norton Delegate, U.S. House of Representatives (D-DC)
