This could be on the back of that postcard as a tribute to him, Matt. And a big congrats to your haiku win. Is that haiku here at Soup so we may see it? Wilberforce was the guy behind getting slavery abolished in England! (focus of the movie: Amazing Grace). Check over your poem here for typos among first three lines. Luv, Andrea
