Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Both candidates in the Virginia governor’s race want to boost public spending on higher education to create a better-prepared workforce.

Kojo looks at the debate over how to fund higher education in Virginia and across the nation in these financially perilous times.
