Evidence note (master store)
Young Chicago Authors' own site (tier 2) describes its Rooted & Radical Youth Poetry Festival as 'Formerly Louder Than A Bomb,' a six-week literary festival engaging youth, educators, and schools in poetry, with Chicagoland poets performing original work — establishing YCA as the Chicago youth-poetry organization behind Louder Than a Bomb, and that the festival now operates under the name Rooted & Radical.
