8th Class Capstone Project Complete!
Justice,
Prejudice and Asparagus: Stories for the Stage About Hunger
and Poverty
The 8th class of National Hunger Fellows would
like to introduce you to these "stories for the stage"
based on their experience as Hunger Fellows. During their
fellowship, Fellows worked on a wide array of issues: nutrition,
homelessness, race, community organizing, small-scale farming,
and healthcare. Upon completion of the fellowship, each year
Fellows complete a capstone project. This project is designed
to share the collective diversity of their experiences, thoughts,
knowledge, and questions with future Fellows, the greater
anti-hunger community, and the general public.
Fellows have contributed creative pieces that
uniquely express her or his evolving ideas* on why hunger
and other social inequities persist and how we can work cooperatively
to alleviate these injustices. Some of these monologues are
based on actual events and others are fictional stories that
exemplify specific issues.
