Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Harlem’s powerful political landscape – forged by stalwarts such as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Charles B. Rangel – has given this New York neighborhood an historic swagger. But scandals swirling around Harlem’s leaders point to an uncertain future for this traditionally black enclave. We explore Harlem’s shifting political and cultural scene.

- Herb Boyd Activist, journalist and author of several books including "The Harlem Reader: A Celebration of New York's Most Famous Neighborhood, from the Renaissance Years to the 21st Century" and "Baldwin's Harlem: A Biography of James Baldwin"
