Introducing the Trilogy of Her Story: Black Women Trailblazers from Fort Worth. By Kyev Tatum, Sr.


Pastor Kyev Tatum, in collaboration with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History proudly announce the upcoming Trilogy of Her Story: Black Women Trailblazers from Fort Worth, a groundbreaking exhibition celebrating the lives and legacies of three extraordinary women who reshaped their fields and left an indelible mark on history. Running from March through June 2025, this inaugural exhibition will honor LPGA Coach Gladys Lee, Sepia Magazine Publisher Beatrice Elizabeth Pringle, and gospel singer and minister Mary Francine Reese Morrison.


The Trailblazers

Gladys Lee: A trailblazer in the world of sports, Gladys Lee was not only an accomplished golfer but also a pioneering LPGA coach who broke barriers in a sport historically dominated by men. Her dedication to mentoring young athletes, particularly women of color, set the stage for future generations to pursue their dreams on the green.

Beatrice Elizabeth Pringle: Known as “The Queen Publisher of the Prairie,” Beatrice Pringle was the first Black female publisher of a nationally circulated magazine, Sepia Magazine. Second only to Ebony Magazine in prominence, Sepia amplified Black voices and chronicled the stories of African Americans across the nation. Beatrice’s career was a testament to her brilliance, perseverance, and commitment to storytelling.

Mary Francine Reese Morrison: Celebrated as “The Songbird of the South,” Mary Francine Reese Morrison was a gospel singer whose powerful voice and unwavering faith captivated audiences throughout the 1950s and beyond. Refusing to perform in venues that contradicted her religious values, she became an icon of integrity in the arts, later earning a doctorate in divinity and continuing her ministry through song and service.


Portraits by Miss Torie Hunter


Adding a unique and inspiring dimension to the exhibition are original portraits of the honorees by 11-year-old child prodigy artist Miss Torie Monroe Hunter. A rising talent from Keller ISD, Miss Torie’s work reflects her passion for making the world a happier place through art. Her striking and heartfelt depictions of Gladys Lee, Beatrice Pringle, and Francine Reese Morrison will be featured alongside the exhibition, offering a fresh and youthful perspective on these legendary figures.


Curator: Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr.


The exhibition is curated by Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr., a civil rights leader, historian, and pastor of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth. With over four decades of experience in community advocacy and a deep commitment to preserving Black history, Pastor Tatum has dedicated his life to telling under-heard stories. His work as a curator has been shaped by his faith, his service to the Fort Worth community, and his passion for uncovering and celebrating the achievements of Black trailblazers.
