Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
D.C. Mayor Marion Barry in 2011
D.C.’s longest-serving mayor Marion Barry put D.C. on the map in more ways than one. Now, his complicated legacy will be memorialized in stone through a statue at the entrance of D.C.’s city hall, the Wilson Building. Three years after Barry’s death, Kojo looks back on the role Barry played in local Washington politics and how residents viewed him in life and now, in remembrance.
