The Blackwood Brothers have
scheduled a visit to Goldthwaite on
Thursday, January 26, at 7:00 p.m.
at the Civic Center. They were
here last year and were well
received. This group of Christian
entertainers has performed all
across the United States and also
in 43 foreign countries. They do
nearly 300 crusades every year.
The Blackwood Brothers got
started right after the depression
in rural Choctaw County, MI. They
were poor share-croppers, but were
brought up in an atmosphere of
positive Christian faith, which led
them to the formation of the
Blackwood Brothers Quartet in
1934. Only three of the original
members were brothers, Roy,
Doyle, and James. The fourth
member, R.W., was Roy’s son.
They first came into national
prominence in 1954, when they
won the “Arthur Godfrey Talent
Scout Show” on the CBS-TV and
radio network. Shortly thereafter,
they .lost R. W. Blackwood and Bill
Lyles in a plane crash. Upon
regrouping after the disaster, they
returned to the “Arthur Godfrey
Show” in 1956 and again became a
winner. They have since achieved
nine Grammy Awards, many Dove
Awards for “Best Male Group",
Gospel Music Association awards
for “Favorite Group”, and many
other awards too numerous to list
The Mandrell Sisters” TV show,
which has again brought them
national acclaim from Christian and
country music fans alike. They
have made numerous appearances
with Billy Graham and most
recently worked with the Billy
Graham Evangelistic Team in their
Alberta, Canada crusade.

The Texas Legislature, recog-
nizing the cultural significance of
our courthouses, established specific ‘
laws to protect these public land-
marks. These laws are designed to
safeguard courthouses from drastic
changes or modifications without
review by the THC. In addition,
courthouses with either state or na-
tional designations are afforded fur-
ther legal protection.
By making compatible additions:
