Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, NBA All-Star Dikembe Mutombo, Chef Barton Seaver and Media maven Arianna Huffington sat down together at the Newseum for a Sunday Supper just prior to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of this remembrance day, DC Central Kitchen and the Points of Light Institute/Hands on Network gathered the group for a mealtime dialogue concerning national issues, from hunger to homelessness, poverty, bullying, etc.

They also encouraged DC residents to engage in similar intentional dialogues over “Sunday Suppers.”

“We’re taking ideas on thin paper and putting [them] into thick action.”
