This week, we take you to last Friday’s Black Lives Matter rally sponsored by the Young, Gifted and Black of Madison coalition. Here’s T. Banks speaking in front of the South Madison Police Station at last Friday’s rally.

If you’d like to contribute to “The Poem of the Week,” you can send us an audio file at molly@wortfm.org, or you can call us on our VoxPop line 608-622-7899 and record your poem over the phone.  Make sure you can clear any copyright issues — your own or public domain works preferred.  Other than that, keep it clean, keep it brief, and if we like it, we’ll play it on the air.
