Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Built in 1968 as an experiment in cooperatively managed low-income housing, Sursum Corda was long known as an epicenter of violence and poverty in the middle of the District. Join Kojo for a look at lessons learned in community development and the new deal between residents and a major developer, which could transform the neighborhood.
Guests
- Lori Montgomery Reporter, The Washington Post
- Margery Austin Turner Director, Center on Metropolitan Housing and Communities, Urban Institute
