New Chromebooks Will Help Open ‘Digital Front Door’ in Fort Worth’s 76104 Community.  By Black Texans, Inc. FORT WORTH — In the heart of Fort Worth’s historic 76104 community, a new digital bridge is preparing to open one Chromebook at a time. Thanks to a generous partnership with Cook Children’s Health Plan, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church will receive twenty new Chromebooks that church and community leaders say will help open “The Digital Front Door in 76104.” For many families in Morningside and surrounding neighborhoods, access to reliable technology has long remained out of reach. Leaders at New Mount Rose say the new Chromebooks will represent more than computers — they will symbolize opportunity, access, workforce development, education, healthcare resources, and hope. “As the Digital Front Door in 76104, we are creating pathways for people to connect with programs and resources that can change lives,” said Pastor Kyev Tatum of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Chur...

Faith at the Fifty at Farrington Field Proudly Presents:  Thursday Night Lights at Farrington Field. Honoring the Legacy of the Prairie View Interscholastic League (PVIL) — 1920–1970 FORT WORTH, TEXAS - On Thursday night, October 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM , the lights will shine once again at historic Farrington Field in Fort Worth, Texas, as Dunbar High School takes on Kennedale High School in a powerful evening honoring the enduring legacy of the Prairie View Interscholastic League. For fifty years, from 1920 to 1970, the PVIL served as the athletic and academic foundation for Black schools across Texas during segregation. While many communities celebrated the tradition of “Friday Night Lights,” Black student-athletes were often assigned to Thursday nights because public stadiums were reserved for white schools on Fridays and Saturdays. Yet despite inequality, limited resources, and systemic barriers, greatness rose from the field. PVIL athletes competed with courage, discipline, pri...

“Build a Garden Box. Feed An Entire Block.”  Matthew 13:8 On Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., the community will gather at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth’s historic 76104 community for a powerful Day of Service focused on fighting food insecurity from the ground up. As part of the growing urban garden movement taking root in 76104, volunteers, churches, neighbors, families, youth, gardeners, and community partners are invited to help build garden boxes designed to bring fresh vegetables and healthy food directly into neighborhoods impacted by food deserts. According to local farmers supporting the initiative, a single well-maintained garden box can produce enough vegetables throughout the year to help feed an entire neighborhood block. What may appear to be a simple wooden box is actually becoming a symbol of hope, health, healing, sustainability, and community transformation. This is more than gardening. This is community restoration. This is neighbors...
