Building alternative neighborhood-based food systems require a social commitment to racial equity and a fearless commitment to social justice. The intent of the PNV Food Justice Legacy Lecture Series is to convene opportunities for shared experiences and provide intellectual inspiration to communities most impacted by inequitable practices.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, an accomplished activist scholar, the creator of Kwanzaa, an African America cultural holiday, and published author, will deliver the keynote address on Racism as a Root Cause for Inequities within the US Food System and Society as a Whole.
Following the lecture, there will be a response panel and conversation with the audience. Confirmed panelists at this time, Lianne Urada, PhD, MSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, San Diego State University School of Social Work & University of California San Diego, Center on Gender Equity and Health, Division of Infectious Diseases & Global Public Health, Department of Medicine; and Jessie Mills PhD, Chair and Associate Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of San Diego. The program also includes dinner at 5:30pm and cultural performances.
