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 D.C. Council is considering a bill that would decriminalize fare evasion on local public transit. The conversation about the bill has channeled concerns that the current approach disproportionately targets low-income riders and people of color. Metro’s general manager and a civil liberties advocate join Kojo to explore what’s at stake.
