Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
LeDroit Park row houses in Washington D.C.
New federal housing rules aimed at diversifying neighborhoods are being hailed as a key tool to end urban inequality and unrest. But in quickly gentrifying cities like Washington, D.C., efforts to diversify can have unintended consequences. Neighborhoods like Shaw that appear to be racially and economically mixed are experiencing “micro-segregation” — small pockets of segregation inside the broader community. Kojo explores the challenges that come with newly diverse neighborhoods, and finds out what kinds of solutions bring communities together.

- Derek Hyra Associate Professor, Department of Public Administration and Policy, American University; Director, Metropolitan Policy Center, American University; Author, " Capital Dilemma: Growth and Inequality in Washington, D.C." and "Making the Gilded Ghetto: Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City"
