P. J. Morgan: The Man, The Music By Francine Buie Paul Lawrence Morgan Jr., affectionately known as “PJ”, is just one of the many musicians you may spot on any given Sunday at the Reid Temple Glenn Dale location. But do we really know the man behind the melodic chords? While it would be easy to simply label Morgan as a musician (and a gifted one), there are so many other layers one must peel back in order to effortlessly expose the total package submerged in this person. Morgan was born in Washington, D.C. and is a product of the Prince George's County public school system. He is the oldest of three children. His father is Paul Lawrence Morgan Sr. and his Mother Delores is deceased. Currently, in conjunction with his duties as a member of the Reid Temple Music Ministry staff, Morgan is a full-time student enrolled at Bowie State, majoring Tommy Lee in Music Technology, with a minor in Classical Performance. He will receive his Bachelor of Arts in May 2014. 18 • Joshua’s Journal • Winter 2014 18 • Joshua’s Journal • Winter 2014
