Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
During the last decade, D.C. neighborhoods like Shaw and Columbia Heights have been revitalized by an influx of new professionals. While many of these changes have been positive, some long-time residents worry that their interests are being overlooked. We explore how a group of senior activists and young people are building bridges across generational and class lines.
