MLK's Legacy Fighting Hunger & Poverty
This panel will highlight the historic role that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – and the Poor People’s Campaign that he founded – played in prompting the federal government to enact polices that slashed hunger and reduced poverty domestically. The panel will feature: Jonathan Eig, noted biographer of Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and Jackie Robinson and author of the upcoming King: A Life; Isaac Newton Farris Jr., nephew of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and a Senior Fellow of the King Center, where her continues to write, research and lecture on the life, philosophy, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr; and Joel Berg, a long-time social justice activist and author who is CEO of Hunger Free America.

HFA in the News Around the Country
In November we released our annual hunger survey, laying bare the the crisis of hunger and food insecurity in America. Since then, our CEO Joel Berg has been interviewed by reporters throughout the country, from Iowa ([link removed]) to Miami ([link removed]) , about how the expiration of government benefit programs has caused hunger to soar. You can watch, read, and listen to all of our coverage ([link removed]) .
