Panelists will help provide context for understanding the way that systemic racism has led to food inequities in PG County and the DMV area. Why do some communities lack access to fresh food while others have four or five groceries stores? What does it mean to live in a food desert or a food swamp? Come learn about the current situation in local communities and the hard work of activists who are bringing fresh food into their neighborhoods and returning ownership of food systems to communities of color. </font></span></p></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><p style="box-sizing:inherit;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:15px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">About the Host:</span><br></font></p></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The mission of PGAAMCC is to </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">celebrate and inspire the Community through the cultivation, preservation, and presentation of the cultural and artistic contributions of African Americans in Prince George’s County, Maryland.</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We pride ourselves on being a learning organization for our visitors and our staff and volunteers alike.
