Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The figure has been called into question, but the notion that “every 28 hours” a black person is killed by police in America has caught hold in many imaginations. It’s an idea that has sparked a theatrical movement with companies across the country performing one-minute plays inspired by the Black Lives Matter Movement. We talk with the director of City@Peace, a program at Atlas Performing Arts Center, about the work they do with teens in the community and the conversations that “Every28Hours” is sparking among them and with program alumni.
Guests
- Sandra Holloway Artistic Director and Facilitator, City at Peace at the Atlas Performing Arts Center
