Gonna loop back, tweet about this story because it's extraordinary. Riverside schools have AMAZING food—and it's thanks to people of color.

When I say Riverside schools have amazing food, I mean stuff you'd pay to eat. Lots of TEACHERS order lunches. That's how good they are.

And Riverside's school have this food because Rodney Taylor, who's a Compton native, was given the opportunity to change it around.

Taylor grew up poor, didn't always have access to food; when he did: wasn't always healthy. He's made a career out of changing that for kids

Then you have folks like Morgan McGhee, also African American. Originally from Alabama, she's sharpened her Spanish to talk to parents.

These folks take a holistic approach to school lunch: to one of the most important points of access for poor children in the U.S.

They've covered all their bases. And, like I keep saying, the food is delicious. Middle schoolers even demanded vegetables!
