TWO YEARS OF BEYCHELLA (APRIL 14, 2018) “And I want this to be an experience where we all have growth, we all have to push ourselves and have to dig deep inside of ourselves to become better human beings. And I wanna start off with a prayer. God, thank you so much for everyone here. Thank you for bringing all of these human beings into my life. God, I ask that this is an experience that we all remember forever. I ask that we’re able to touch people and give them hope. To make people feel beautiful, strong and united. God, I ask that you just use us. I ask that we all grow and we all connect.”

FORGOTTEN HISTORY: On March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, including Lawrence’s 15-year-old brother Lindsey Cross, were padlocked into their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire “mysteriously” ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building. It’s an event in history possibly forgotten or unknown by many, but it’s that moment that claimed the life of 21 boys. 🙏🏾🕊 #moorinfo
