Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Marc Fisher
A century ago, Baltimore enacted the first laws restricting where African Americans could live. The legacy endures, as race continues to play a role in where people live and the kinds of home loans they can get. We’ll look at the history of segregated neighborhoods and learn about a new study on race and predatory lending in Washington, D.C.
