The Texas 6888th Project: An American Love Story Announces Exciting Event at the Bush Center.


The Texas 6888th Project is honored to share that the remarkable story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, fondly known as the Six Triple Eight, will take center stage at Engage at the Bush Center, presented by NexPoint.


On February 12, from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., attendees will experience an inspiring conversation featuring:

• Nicole Avant, a producer of Netflix’s The Six Triple Eight,

• Milauna Jackson, who portrays Captain Campbell in the film, and

• Retired Army Col. Edna Cummings, a producer of the 2019 documentary about the Six Triple Eight and a key advocate who successfully championed the battalion’s recognition with the Congressional Gold Medal.


This event celebrates the recent release of Netflix’s The Six Triple Eight, a film that shares the untold story of WWII’s only Women’s Army Corps unit of color. Tasked with clearing a backlog of 17 million pieces of soldier mail in Birmingham, England, the Six Triple Eight ensured that letters and packages reached troops on the frontlines. Under their motto, “No mail, low morale,” these courageous women accomplished their mission in just three months despite facing systemic racism and sexism. Their efforts not only boosted soldier morale but also broke barriers, proving their dedication to service and their pivotal role in American history.


“We are pleased that the Bush Center is hosting this incredible gathering and we look forward to telling the stories of our Texas families of the 6888th and friends of the battalion,” says Pastor Kyev Tatum, curator for the Texas 6888th Project: An American Love Story.

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...
