Smoking for Jesus’ Black History Month Event Highlights Artistic Contributions

THE PICAYUNE

TEXAS---When Joan Lawrence of the Smoking for Jesus school began putting together the campus’ upcoming Black History Month program, she hoped her students and attendees would take away more than just a history lesson. “I hope that they will be inspired,” she said. “Maybe even go into the arts.” The program is 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Smoking for Jesus church, 1804 FM 2342 about a mile north of the RR 1431 intersection. This year’s program features African-American artists — who are also Christian artists, Lawrence pointed out. Lawrence does a tremendous amount of research herself on the subject. It’s not always easy, she admitted, because she’s not only trying to gather information on African-American artists, but Christian ones. [link]
