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 many ways, Washington D.C. is the quintessential international city, home to millions of foreign-born residents and visitors from around the globe. But the cultural and educational benefits of the city’s international fabric don’t always filter into its public school system. Now local educators are trying to expand social studies curricula. We hear about new efforts to take local classes global, and bring Model United Nations programs to urban schools.
