“Hill Harper is one of the rare celebrities that leverages his commercial success for the betterment of others,” said the Rev. Dr. DeForest B.

The Scholarship Ministry at FBCLG originated in 1964 with the intention to provide financial support to youth who desire to attend an institution of higher learning after high school.  “Arts in the Afternoon,” was created to help raise scholarship money in effort to support the mission of the ministry, according to the release.  The annual event consists of music, dancing, art and poetry along with a special keynote speaker.
