- Prime Time Radio
First, Will Allen describes his passion and plan to provide healthy, affordable food to poor urban communities. Allen resolved to change this phenomenon by buying derelict greenhouses near a poor Milwaukee housing project and founded Growing Power. His organization employs young people from nearby communities and teaches them the principles of farming while providing them with affordable healthy food. Allen's memoir, "The Good Food Revolution", tells the story of how his passion grew from a seed of an idea to an organization that is changing the way America eats.
Then, in 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to dine with the first family at the White House. Washington accepted the invitation, which was the first time a black man had ever been invited to dine at the White House. By the next day, negative newspaper headlines reported the dinner, bashing the reputations of both men. However, there are many similarities and parallels in the lives of the two great men. Historian Deborah Davis not only gives an in depth profile of the ramifications of the dinner in her book, "Guest of Honor", but also shows how much social equality has improved over the last century.
