Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Shirley Chisholm made an indelible mark on American’s past, present, and future. It is generally agreed that — without her — last year’s historic Presidential campaign between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would never have happened. Now, 40 years after being out of print, her memoir has been updated and re-released. We dig deeper into her life, and the impact she had on today’s and tomorrow’s world.
Guests
- Scott Simpson Editor, "Unbought and Unbossed: Expanded 40th Anniversary Edition" (Take Root Media, DC); and
- Shola Lynch Director of documentary "Chisholm '72: Unbought and Unbossed" (2004)
