Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
If you live near an economically depressed neighborhood, you’ve probably seen a million proposals for improving it, with little actual change. But a new twist on revitalizing these neighborhoods has many people encouraged. Join Kojo and the Urban Institute on location in Cleveland for a discussion of the promising results of “community building.”
