A student-penned poem about the late Jo Cox has been unveiled at Bradford College.
Social work student Bernadette O’Horo wrote the heartfelt piece after meeting the murdered MP’s family when they visited the college.
The moving tribute, called Beautiful Symphony, has now been printed onto a photograph of the former Labour MP and placed on display in a café at the college.
In the poem, Bernadette, who writes and performs under the pseudonym Bernie-the-Bolt, addresses issues of hate crimes, social injustice, gender politics and bereavement.
She said: “The poem was written for a skills day which took place as part of my social work degree course where the subject matter related to hate crime. Jo’s family were in attendance and I wanted to write a poem to bless Jo’s family, but also to inform others of the great works Jo did and what she stood for and believed in and why it is important that we remain collective in challenging the social injustices which disadvantaged people face.”
