Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
An incident at Oklahoma State involving members of a fraternity singing a racist chant may have surprised some, but in fact the issue is not isolated to that fraternity or campus. And while it’s often assumed younger generations are more tolerant than their elders, research shows that may not be true. We explore why it’s too soon to declare the U.S. a “post racial society.”
