Prayers and condolences to the Lawson family.
I grew up in the same community and saw Rev Lawson’s efforts to desegregate a very staunchly rigid and very racially polarized Houston. His efforts even continued into the early 1990s in this regard. My family shopped at Weingarten’s grocery on Almeda ( cited in this video as the site of the first student sit-in to desegregate Houston). That location is now a U.S. Post Office- which should be named in Rev Lawson’s honor.
His death marks the end of his very illustrious life that was well traveled in helping to spiritually elevate our society. May God Bless his soul for all eternity!
Rest in peace mighty man of God. May God Almighty comfort his family with His presence.
BLESS HIS HEART, May HE Rest In Peace...

All of our giants are being called to an higher place and higher purpose....its time to teach our children young and old black history ....if we dont ....who will?!.....
This church just started popping up in my algorhythim. You all have lost a great one. As he joins the chorus of the ancestors and the great cloud of witnesses I hope to join the chorus one day.🕊
RIP PASTOR LAWSON
Rest in power King
King 🤔
❤❤️🪦🙏❤️
All that and that ni didn’t change anything
Oh Really 🥴
I don’t understand why these prominent pastors don’t speak out to our President of United States; defending their God against gay marriage………… If you are a man of God, you should defend God at all cost.
Deepest sympathy ❤️you Melanie.
My Condolences go out to the families, friends and the wheeler families. Rip.🪦.
Men lead not females 💯
