  LOYAL TO THE SOIL. Genesis 2:15. Ministers Justice Coalition Get Black To Our Roots at New Mount Rose in 76104.  There are moments when heaven touches earth so gently… you almost miss it. But not this time. In the heart of Fort Worth’s Morningside community—76104— something sacred is taking root. Not just in the ground… but in the people. When Central Texas farmers Ken and P. Wade Ross came to New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, they didn’t just bring knowledge… They brought wisdom. They didn’t just bring seeds… They brought a standard.

He looked across the garden—studying not just what was there… but what was missing. And then he said one word: “We must plant sunflowers.” In that moment, something shifted.

  BLACK TO OUR ROOTS: Raising Our Own to Serve With P. Wade Ross on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 11:AM at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church 2864 Mississippi Avenue Fort Worth, Texas 76104. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Host Pastor  In a time when communities are searching for answers, we are returning to something timeless. The soil. The seed. The stewardship of our own hands. Black to Our Roots is more than a gardening initiative— it is a movement of restoration. A return to wisdom. A reclaiming of knowledge. A rebuilding of self-sustaining communities from the ground up. This is where faith meets food, where legacy meets land, and where service begins at the root. A LIVING CLASSROOM FOR A LASTING LEGACY Today, this movement comes alive in the gardens of churches within the Ministers Justice Coalition— with a hands-on demonstration at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Under the leadership of P. Wade Ross, participants will engage in a transformative, r...
