Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The head of DC’s newly formed Youth Rehabilitation Services division discusses the future of Oak Hill Academy, the DC school for incarcerated students, and ways he plans to reduce the number of incarcerated young people in DC. And we look at which politicians hit home runs, and who struck out, at the Nationals’ season home opener.
