AUSTIN, TX —Austin Justice Coalition, serving people who are historically and systematically impacted by gentrification, segregation, over policing, a lack of educational and employment opportunities, and other institutional forms of racism in Austin, will host their 4th annual ATX Black Food Week including three full weeks of food, drinks and community empowerment.

This year, the annual event takes place over the course of three full weeks, including two restaurant weeks and a full week dedicated to food trucks beginning Monday, August 24 through Sunday, September 13.
