Texarkana project shows what's right with America
In Texarkana two races dedicated the St. Paul Baptist Church sanctuary, less than two years after a church was burned amid racial tension. The ceremony marked a cooperative rebuilding effort with support from Texas Baptists and local churches, underscoring unity in faith and community. A separate tragedy near Leander, Texas, reported later, involved a UT coed Lisa Brashears killed when a car left U.S. 183, prompting a community focus on race relations.
