Interactive Signed Fine Art Print featuring the "Reverend Lawson" mural created by artist
Audrianna Woods in Houston, Texas.
The mural is part of the
Legacies of Change murals curated and produced by Street Art for Mankind in Houston, TX.
It honors the legacy of Rev. William Lawson, a longtime pastor and civil rights leader who played a crucial role in desegregating Houston. Rev. Lawson founded Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in 1962 and served as its pastor for 42 years before retiring in 2004. Known as “Houston’s Pastor,” he remained active in his church and community throughout his life. Lawson joined forces with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement and was the pastor of the "Three Amigos," three Houston faith leaders who united in support of civil rights for more than 50 years. Rev. Lawson is still remembered today as the “gentle giant” and “kind grandfather” who cared deeply for his community.
"Reverend Lawson" serves as a narrative of Rev. Lawson's legacy. He is depicted above his church, alongside his wife, with whom he worked hand in hand. He affectionately called her “Little Red,” symbolized here by the red dress she wears. The groups of children serve as a reminder that the couple fought for their future. The mural also includes portraits of Rev. King (on the right), the "Three Amigos" (on the left), and a nod to Rev. Lawson's passion for cartooning (with the doodle that was part of the first letter he sent back to his wife).
