Jones, who recently joined Fox & Friends as a permanent co-host, shared that while the title is new, he doesn’t feel like much has shifted.

“I actually don’t feel anything different because I feel like I’ve been a part of the family for so long,” he told The U.S. Sun.

Jones began his Fox career officially in 2018 but first started appearing on Fox News when he was 20.

With his show, Lawrence Jones Cross Country, he became the youngest Black solo host of a cable news program – and that’s not something he took lightly.

“Being a Black man is a part of my story,” Jones said.

“Obviously I care about my community and want to make sure that I’m fighting for them on a day-to-day basis, and so it’s an incredible honor.”

‘PART OF MY STORY’

As part of his story and his career at Fox, Jones had a recent opportunity to explore more of his heritage.

Within that, he discovered more about his Native American side but also his African ancestry.

“My ancestors were some of the last people on the last slave ships,” Jones told The U.S. Sun of his findings.

“And I have one great-great-grandmother that lived to be 105, endured slavery, and still lived to be 105.

“There’s such rich history, and I feel like I stand on those shoulders on a day-to-day basis, and, you know, I’m not in this place if they didn’t make the sacrifice.

“So, that’s important to me. But I also never want it to be the only part of my story.

“I go to all different communities and cover those stories, but there is this way of wanting to make sure that I’m pushing the next generation forward because of those sacrifices that were made by my ancestors.”

‘IN MY BLOOD’

Jones continued, saying he had no clue about his family’s history.

“I had no idea,” he said, adding that he had been researching his ancestry but hadn’t discovered that information.

He credited the “unique opportunity to get a genealogist assigned to track all this back.”

“I was speechless as I learned more and more,” he said.

While Jones thought he got his work ethic from his parents, who he said were “hard workers and resilient,” he felt differently after the genealogist shared what was found.

“It’s kind of in my blood when you think about it,” Jones said.

“I mean, to endure slavery and the abuse and all that, and still, you know, live to be 105.”
