Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Many residents of Northwest DC have been living in or around soil contaminated by chemical munitions buried during World War I. Everyone has an opinion — from the Army to the Environmental Protection Agency, from local government officials to neighborhood activists. Hear Join Kojo for a conversation on the dangers posed by arsenic in the soil, the cost of the clean-up, and the debate over who should foot the bill.
