Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Metro’s recent performance has triggered a flood of complaints about the transit network’s workers, many of which are channeled through social media. The head of the union representing Metro’s workers said she sees racial connotations in how those frustrations are expressed. Kojo explores where race fits into conversations about Metro’s workforce and the relationship between racism and unconscious bias.
