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 February death of a two-year-old girl after a call to 911 renewed demands for closer scrutiny of the District’s emergency response services. The similar death of a New York Times reporter in 2006 prompted the creation of a task force that recommended changes, but four years later, thorny issues remain.
