Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
"Eracism"
Two years ago, Anacostia Unmapped brought the stories–and history–of Anacostia to WAMU’s airwaves. Now a new exhibit called Anacostia Unmapped 2.0 features different artists’ interpretations and responses to each radio piece. We check in with the curator of the exhibit, two of the featured artists and take a look at the arts scene in Anacostia.
