Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A legendary figure in Washington died on Tuesday. Though many only know Abe Pollin as the owner of the Washington Wizards, Pollin was also a philanthropist whose life & work helped shape (and reshape) the modern economic and cultural fabric of our region. Local personalities join Kojo to remember the man he was, his contributions to the city, and the legacy he leaves behind.
