Project New Village’s 12th Annual Fannie Lou Hamer Legacy Celebration dazzled attendees with a ceremony highlighting food justice and local activism in Southeastern San Diego. Held at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park, the atmosphere set the stage for Diane Moss, Managing Director of Project New Village, to speak on the importance of access to nourishing food as well as the critical need for ongoing food justice within urban areas.
The event took place on Saturday, December 7th. Project New Village is Southeastern San Diego’s premier food justice and social wellness non profit.
“We’re so happy to have you all here sharing space with us. Thank you for supporting the community and the legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer. Food justice means so much to us and we want it to keep thriving here in our communities,” Moss said.
