SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL IN COWTOWN: Pastor Kyev Tatum Curates Creative Cowtown Cultural Exhibitions!  Zelle: kptatum1@gmail.com With excitement, gratitude, and deep Fort Worth pride, we are thrilled to announce two dynamic cultural exhibitions developed over the past year that shine a powerful light on our city’s rich — and often under-told — history. The first, Trilogy of Her Story: Black Women Trailblazers of Fort Worth, is a joyful celebration of brilliance, courage, and faith. This inspiring exhibition honors three extraordinary women who reshaped their fields and left an indelible mark on history: pioneering LPGA coach Gladys Lee, groundbreaking SEPIA Magazine publisher Beatrice Elizabeth Pringle, and gospel artist and minister Mary Francine Reese Morrison. Their stories radiate excellence, resilience, and spirit — reminding us that Fort Worth has always been home to world-class women of vision and virtue ( https://blacktexans.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-trilogy-of-her-story-black-wom...
