  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. They came teaching us—and now teaching the world— what it means to be: Loyal to the Soil. THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED THE GARDEN As the community gathered around the soil… watching, learning, listening… Brother Ken paused. 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. Because what sounded like farming advice… was r...

  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.

FAITH AT THE FIFTY:  How I.M. Terrell, Farrington Field, and a segregated Texas met at midfield—and history refused to stay silent on December 24, 1940 in Fort Worth, Texas.  By Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. The Day Before Christmas… When Heaven Met the Hashmarks On the day before Christmas in 1940, while families across Texas were preparing gifts beneath trees, something far greater was being unwrapped in Fort Worth. Not toys. Not traditions. But testimony. Because at Farrington Field—right there at the fifty-yard line—faith, football, and freedom collided in a way that would echo far beyond the stadium walls. This is not just a football story. This is a story about what happens when a people denied full access to America still find a way to stand at the center of it. A Field Divided… But a Moment Centered Farrington Field was a symbol of civic pride in Fort Worth. But like much of America in 1940—it was also a place shaped by segregation. Separate schools. Separate systems. Sepa...
