Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s been more than 15 years since DC voters chose their first "shadow" Congressional delegation.

Join Kojo for an update on the shadow delegation and the ongoing quest for national recognition of DC’s unique status.
