Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A D.C. student at WAMU's town hall back in March.
In the United States, someone under the age of 25 is killed by gunfire every 70 minutes. And in some neighborhoods in our region, young people face the threat of gun violence on a near-daily basis.
How do children cope with the trauma of gun violence, and how does it affect the minds and bodies of kids who face that threat regularly?
We take a look at trauma –and resilience– in children.
