Ep 3 - Ric Wilson

Prison abolitionist and hip hop artist Ric Wilson is a Strong Young Voice working in the studios and streets of Chicago. He has also moved across national borders in his activism, heading to Switzerland as part of group We Charge Genocide last fall to testify about police torture in front of the United Nations and traveling to Cambodia to transform harm caused by state and interpersonal violence and create community healing. He's also one-half of rap duo FYI (Fuck Your Institution), and released his debut full-length project Penny Raps in April. Hear AirGo live Thursday at 12PM CST on WHPK 88.5FM in Chicago, or on the WHPK livestream. The show will be available as a podcast on Soundcloud and iTunes on Friday.
