Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Howard University President Wayne A.I. Frederick in 2014.
Howard University has long been among the nation’s best-known historically black universities. As it approaches its sesquicentennial next year, though, it is wrestling with big questions about funding, finances and the future. Questions that the local community are especially curious about swirl around the fate of WHUT – the PBS member station that broadcasts from campus – and the teaching hospital that serves area residents. We talk with the university’s president Wayne Frederick about the way forward for the historic institution.
