Please join the Yale Sustainable Food Program, Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration, and St Anthony Hall for Leah Penniman's lecture entitled "The intersection of #blacklivesmatter and #foodjustice."
Penniman is a farmer and social justice organizer who founded Soul Fire Farm with Jonah Vitale-Wolff. Through innovative programming, Penniman and Soul Fire Farm are committed to a mission of dismantling the oppressive structures that misguide our food system through organizing and teaching. For a taste of what's to come, here's a profile in Civil Eats of Penniman: http://civileats.com/2014/12/02/this-farmer-wants-to-help-youth-of-color-reconnect-with-the-land/.
