Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the 1800s, it was a rural resting stop for travelers heading to the big city. Today, the area east of the Anacostia River is a complex urban landscape, whose residents have sometimes felt cut off from the changes taking place in the rest of D.C. Join Kojo for a look at the history of neighborhoods on the Anacostia’s eastern shore, and hear how people living there view their past, present and future.
Guests
- Portia James Curator, "East of the River: Continuity and Change," Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum
- Gail Lowe Historian, Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum
