  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIGHT LIKE 42: North Texas Civil Rights Collective Announces Economic Withdrawal on Jackie Robinson Day at Globe Life Field. Demonstration Set for April 12, 2026. “We will not return until the statue comes down.” Pastor Kyev Tatum ~  https://youtu.be/0VzvoIo0r5o Fort Worth, Texas — April 2026 — The North Texas Civil Rights Collective has announced the launch of an economic boycott of Jackie Robinson Day events at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers, beginning in April 2026.

PLOW FORWARD! Planting Tomatoes with Purpose. Luke 9:62 “What is planted in love never dies.” In Memory of Travelle “Tre” Boyer — A Son of the Community New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. On Good Friday, we didn’t just remember the cross— we lived out its call. Today was more than a day of outdoor work— it was a declaration of faith in motion. Hands hit the soil. Seeds met the ground. Purpose was planted. We plowed. We planted. We prepared for a harvest we believe God will bring forth. We spent the day with our hands in the dirt and our faces in the sun— embracing the sacred rhythm of creation itself. What looked like simple labor was, in truth, ministry in motion. We worked the soil. We breathed in fresh air. We received what can only be called sun therapy from heaven above. We extend our deepest gratitude to Reverend Clyde Lawson of Harmony Missionary Baptist Church, whose faithful labor prepared the ground before we ever arrived. Because the soil was ...

Tatum, Sr., Publisher, Black, Texans, Inc., Link:  https://mansfieldcrisis.omeka.net/items/show/290 AUSTIN, TEXAS - What happened in Mansfield, Texas in 1956 did not end at the schoolhouse doors. It followed the NAACP into courtrooms, into offices, into the very files you have just uncovered ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa67cqHSa90&feature=youtu.be ). Because when the NAACP stood up for three Black children to walk into Mansfield High School… Texas stood up to shut the NAACP down. I. WHEN JUSTICE WALKED IN, POWER PUSHED BACK After the U.S. Supreme Court declared in Brown v. Board of Education II that desegregation must proceed “with all deliberate speed,” the NAACP moved with purpose. In Mansfield, that purpose had a name: Jackson v. Rawdon (1955) Led by courageous attorneys like Thurgood Marshall, L. Clifford Davis, and supported by organizers such as T.M. Moody ...
