Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Local officials in D.C. recently convened a convention to draft a constitution that would put the city on the path to statehood. Under the plan, the District would adopt a new name: “New Columbia.” But some of those who’ve been on the front lines of the fight for statehood aren’t thrilled about how the process has worked so far – and where it might be going.
Guests
- Joshua Burch Founder, Neighbors United for D.C. Statehood
