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: Elaina Plott
Gross is greeted with hugs after arriving at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Wednesday.
After five years in a Cuban jail, USAID contractor and Washington area resident Alan Gross is home. His release was the result of national and international efforts — spurred in part by the unrelenting pressure and activism of the local Jewish community. We explore how the weekly vigils, letter-writing campaigns and broad support contributed to Gross’s release.
Guests
- Ron Halber Executive Director, Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington
