Rev. Dr. Heber M. Brown, III

Reverend Doctor

Reverend Dr. Heber M. Brown, III has been a catalyst for personal transformation and social change for more than twenty-five years.  For nearly fourteen years, he served as pastor of a baptist church in Baltimore where he saw and personally experienced the impacts of food apartheid.  This helped to inspire him to launch the Black Church Food Security Network which advances food security and food sovereignty by co-creating Black food ecosystems anchored by nearly 300 Black congregations in partnership with Black farmers and other food justice stakeholders.  He serves on numerous boards including Bread For The World, Black Farmer Fund and Future Harvest. Rev. Brown has garnered numerous awards and is the author of the forthcoming book, Nothing More Sacred: Radical Stories Of Black Church Faith, Food and Freedom.
