Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Inside the repair of the Washington National Cathedral.
When a 5.8 magnitude earthquake rocked our region five years ago, it caused serious damage to two major structures: the Washington Monument and Washington National Cathedral. While the Washington Monument has been fully restored, elevator issues aside, the National Cathedral is still raising money needed to repair the $34 million in damage. We get an update on reconstruction at the Washington National Cathedral.
Guests
- James Shepherd Architect; Director, Preservation and Facilities, Washington National Cathedral
