LEGENDS IN THE LOCKERS: Fort Worth’s PVIL Legacy Rises: Four Trailblazers Named to the Class of 2027 | PVIL Legacy Game:  https://fwtx.com/news/dunbar-kennedale-game-kicks-off-celebration-of-black-sports-/ FORT WORTH, Tx. From the football field and basketball court to the track, classroom, military service and community, Art Perkins, John Gales, Jimmy Gales and Madison Hogan carried Fort Worth’s I.M. Terrell and Dunbar legacies far beyond the city. Fort Worth’s Prairie View Interscholastic League story is still being written. It lives in the memories of former players, the records set by its athletes, the students shaped by its teachers and coaches, and the service of those who carried their commitment beyond the playing field. Now four Fort Worth trailblazers are headed for induction into the 2027 PVILCA Hall of Fame. (Black History in October:  https://blacktexans.blogspot.com/2026/10/a-legacy-of-black-history-in-october.html ). The honorees—Art “Pearly” Perkins, John Gales...

  SHOWING LOVE FROM ABOVE: RESTORING THE SOULS OF AFRICAN REFUGEES AT NEW MOUNT ROSE.  Deuteronomy 28:43 |  https://youtu.be/4gtywfr13a8?is=qTWMtTQcdRHenabN As if the trauma of life in Tanzania’s Nyarugusu Refugee Camp were not enough, the living conditions at the apartment complex on Robert’s Street in Fort Worth’s 76104 ZIP code—an area burdened by one of the region’s lowest life-expectancy rates—are heartbreaking. My heart aches for the African refugee children and families who now live there. Armed guards stand at the gate. Visitors cannot drive into the complex and must show identification to the police before entering. The restrictions and guarded entrance make the environment feel deeply confining. (Withering on the Vine:  https://blacktexans.blogspot.com/2026/10/withering-on-vine-our-african-refugee.html ). Nyarugusu is a large, long-standing refugee camp in the Kasulu District of Tanzania’s Kigoma Region. Established in 1996 by the United Nations High Com...

  A Compensation of Compassion From the Church to the Community to Commerce The Ministry of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church Since 2018 James 1:27 In Fort Worth’s 76104, a church’s work can’t stop at the sanctuary door. Since 2018, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church has been building a ministry that reaches into the daily lives of its neighbors—helping families find food, students find opportunity, and residents connect with health care, legal resources, and the people working to preserve their community’s history. The work begins with faith. It moves through partnership. And increasingly, it reaches toward economic opportunity. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr., has helped carry that vision beyond Fort Worth. In 2023, he agreed to quarterback the Texas Cohort of Faith, Community, and Small Business Leaders, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The cohort aimed to help marginalized Texans compete in the global ec...
