Who is mr. wisdom?
In 1993, Clifton Billings founded Mr. Wisdom’s. The vegetarian eatery is warmly remembered for making comforting veggie plates, veggie burgers, and wheatgrass shots available for decades, in a community with very few healthy options.
Every weekend, Mr. Billings generously provided free vegetarian Hare Krishna feasts to hundreds of his South Central neighbors.
In April 2019, shortly after the assassination of Nipsey Hussle, we were shocked to learn Mr. Wisdom’s had just closed. We searched extensively to find out where Mr. Billings was, and exactly what happened to Mr. Wisdom's, but it was to no avail. In the spirit of legacy and commitment to community embodied by both Mr. Billings and Nipsey Hussle, we vowed to purchase the historic location,
and sustain the torch of service they ignited.
Keep Slauson Fresh is our promise to make sure The Marathon Continues.
Asé (and so it is.)
