Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Religious organizations have been active in communities since the Puritans, but now the issues are AIDS, pregnant teens, and building homes. Are churches still equipped to lend a helping hand? In our continuing series with the Urban Institute, Kojo focuses on the success rate and evolving nature of urban ministries.
