| Franklin on A Place at the Table panel |
Baton Rouge, La - Mrs. Tiffany Franklin, extension associate, attended the
screening of “A Place at the Table" and participated in a panel discussion,
sharing her professional knowledge about the topics discussed. The
Southern University Agricultural Center is proud and honored to have Franklin
represent the organization.
In celebration of
Food Day 2013, and in collaboration with the Mayor's Healthy City Initiative, Baton Rouge held a film screening, panel discussion, Q&A and expo on
October 22 at LSU’s Energy, Coast and Environmental Building. Food Day is a
nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable
food. A Place at the Table is a film that tells the powerful stories of three
children that don’t know where their next meal is coming from; Americans, who
maintain their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. In a riveting journey
that will change forever how you think about the hungry, A Place at the Table
shows how the issue could be solved forever, once the American public
decides—as they have in the past—that ending hunger is in the best interests of
us all. More information about “A Place at the Table” is available at Magnolia Picture.
