My role and feelings with the Hunger Banquet are very positive, unfortunately I was unable to attend but the feedback and reviews that I saw and read were all very positive. It was interesting listening to the young who may have not experienced hunger in one way or another and to listen to their testimony about the broth that they were given to eat was very heartening.
Another student stated that she recieved a ticket out of the box to sit at the upper class table and when seated there and saw the other students sitting at the middle and lower class tables, she couldn't eat at all and felt guilty because of the others and what they were eating. I was very touched by listening to the different testimonies and very inspired to continue my fight for justice and peace. The young people in class, were even motivated to play a larger part in life to fight for those with hunger issues. We were sharecroppers growing up and many times we without and the memories still haunt me today, but have made me a stronger person.
