EHE Grand Rounds: It's Always Been Bigger Than Food

Reverend Dr. Heber M. Brown, III has been a catalyst for personal transformation and social change for more than twenty years.  For nearly fourteen years, he served as pastor of Pleasant Hope Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland.  While there, he launched Orita's Cross Freedom School; an educational program that celebrates African heritage and develops hands-on skills in youth.  He later launched the Black Church Food Security Network which advances food security and food sovereignty by co-creating Black food ecosystems anchored by Black congregations in partnership with Black farmers and others.  His work has garnered numerous awards and national recognition.  He serves on the board of many impactful organizations such as Bread For The World and is currently writing his first book entitled, Nothing More Sacred: Radical Stories Of Black Church Faith, Food and Freedom.  The book is scheduled to be published in Fall 2024.
