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 Greater Washington Urban League celebrates its 70th anniversary this week. It’s been on the front lines of civil rights and social justice disputes in our region for decades. But the city’s cultural, political and economic dynamics have shifted significantly since the organization was created. We reflect on the history of the organization, and how its mission is changing to meet today’s urban challenges.
