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.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...
