When Anna Stanley snapped a photo of her 1-year-old daughter, Avery, with the Good Shepherd Statue, a roadside attraction in the north Tuscaloosa County community of Samantha, she planned to submit the photo into the inaugural Alabama Black Belt Adventures Association’s Road Trip Photo Contest.

Stanley also had another motive. She wanted to raise awareness about the Little Closet Community Food Pantry, which was created in honor of Johnny Williamson, Avery’s great-grandfather and the creator of the Good Shepherd Statue in 1999.

The Good Shepherd statue was erected to represent the 23rd Psalm, which was Johnny Williamson’s mother’s favorite Bible Scripture. The 6½-foot statue was made by artist Willie Logan.
