SIGNED, SEALED, & DELIVERED. Miss Torie Monroe Hunter to Be Honored at 12th Annual Lenora Rolla Juried Art Show on February 20, 2025 in Downtown Fort Worth.


FORT WORTH, TX - New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church proudly celebrates 11-year-old artist Torie Monroe Hunter, who will be recognized at the Opening Reception of the 12th Annual Lenora Rolla Juried Art Show. This prestigious event, honoring artistic excellence and cultural heritage, will take place on Thursday, February 20, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at 400 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX. The Artist Opening & Awards Ceremony is free and open to the public, and friends and family are encouraged to attend.




Torie’s featured artwork is a striking portrait of Major Charity Adams, the pioneering commander of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion during World War II. Known as the “Six Triple Eight,” this all-Black, all-female unit in the Women’s Army Corps was tasked in 1945 with sorting and delivering an overwhelming backlog of approximately 17 million pieces of mail in war-torn Europe. Under the motto “No Mail, Low Morale,” these trailblazing women braved harsh conditions in cold, dimly lit warehouses to ensure that American troops received their much-needed correspondence from home. Their perseverance and efficiency in clearing the backlog in record time earned them a place in history for “saving the morale of America” during WWII.



The Lenora Rolla Exhibit, hosted by the Tarrant County Black Historical & Genealogical Society, celebrates Black History Month by highlighting the contributions of African Americans through visual arts. Art Director Karen Shield expressed her excitement, stating, “We are honored to showcase the talents of young artists like Torie, who use their gifts to preserve and illuminate the legacies of extraordinary figures like Major Charity Adams.”



Attendees will have the unique opportunity to view Torie’s powerful portrait and gain insight into the profound legacy of the 6888th Battalion. The event promises to be a memorable evening filled with art, history, and inspiration as the next generation of artists honors the trailblazers who paved the way.

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...
