college students especially those at historically black university like atlanta s spellman and morehouse colleges where more than half no, more than a third of the combined student populations do not have meal plans. and those that do are prevented from sharing meals with fellow students. to draw attention to the issue of student hunger, students from both colleges launched week-long campus wide hunger strikes earlier this month to force policy changes. and this morning i m pleased to report that both hunger strikes have ended after the two schools announced they would make changes to help students who do not have access to campus meals. joining me now is national action network s youth director, former city council candidate and, yes, spellman college student, mary pat hector.
