Food for Thought and Democracy with David Beasley

Join us Thursday, June 11, at 6 p.m. for a compelling conversation with former Governor of South Carolina, David Beasley. As former executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Beasley will discuss how democracy can be improved by returning to the fundamentals: sharing a meal together and putting humanity before politics. Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. will moderate this conversation.

Beasley will share how he used food as a tool for peace and how food is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing our country. He will also reflect on his leadership advocating for the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse dome, which earned him the John F. Kennedy Profile of Courage Award.

ATTEND: Register here to attend the program in person at the Clinton Center. The program will be available on our YouTube channel the following day.

ASL interpretation is available during our events.

This program is presented by the Clinton Foundation.
