PRISON FELLOWSHIP: Black History Month

Nearly 50 years after Black History Month was first celebrated, Prison Fellowship staff and program participants reflect on what it means to them personally.

Art Hallett was the only one in his teenage group of friends who was never arrested. He credits it to his mother wisely pushing him to enlist in the Air Force at age 17. But his freedom doesn’t mean he has  never been to prison.

This past February, Prison Fellowship celebrated Black History Month with a tour of African American artists who led an evangelism campaign in Illinois.
