MILWAUKEE, (CBS 58) -- Before they were married, Margaret “Peggy” Rozga marched for fair housing in Milwaukee with civil rights leader Father James Groppi. A half-century later, Rozga's continued push for social and racial justice is woven into her work as a civil rights consultant, writer and Wisconsin's poet laureate.
Margaret was featured in a story CBS 58 Sunday Morning in the summer of 2019 highlighting a poetry reading series in Milwaukee, one that's on hold this summer because of the pandemic.
On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Mike Strehlow returned to a downtown Milwaukee oasis that's home to Poetry in the Park.
