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: Marc Fisher
Students at the University of Missouri hold a vigil for the victims of the North Carolina shooting.
In Paris and Copenhagen, extremists attacked political satirists and a Jewish market and synagogue. In North Carolina, a man killed three young Muslim-Americans in a parking dispute that some allege was a hate crime. We explore how law enforcement and faith communities in our region are reacting to these violent events that have heightened fears and prompted new security concerns.
