Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Students at Howard University are demanding greater power on their campus.
For more than a week, hundreds of students at Howard University have occupied the school’s administration building, mirroring a similar sit-in with similar demands by students fifty years ago. Both protests were motivated by student discontent at their decision-making power and the school’s leadership, but, despite hours of negotiations with school administrators, the current protest has outlasted the first to become the longest sit-in in Howard’s history. Kojo explores the occupation, its historical context and where it may lead.
