April is National Poetry Month, and one Asheville resident contributed to NPR's community poem that focused on grappling with discrimination, "Today, I Am A Witness To Change."
Victoria Crane-Lindsey was listening to NPR one day recently while she drove home from an appointment in Asheville. She heard "Morning Edition" host Rachel Martin mention something about a community poem that listeners could contribute to, with the theme of how people grapple with increased violence and discrimination in the wake of attacks against Asian Americans.
And Crane-Lindsey was motivated.
"I was just really moved by the community process of bringing together the crowd-sourced poem," she said. "And I got home and was just inspired and submitted it."
