Honoring the Life, Love, and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “We need treatment for the trauma caused by the tragedy of gun violence homicides and suicides in the community.” Pastor Tatum


FORT WORTH, TEXAS – On April 11, 2025, we will pause to reflect on a defining moment in our nation’s history—the day we lost Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 57 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. King gave his life in the fight for justice, peace, and the beloved community. Yet today, right here in Fort Worth, we are still burying our babies—losing them to the senseless tragedies of gun violence and suicides. The devastating truth? More lives are lost to gun suicides than homicides.


We must act. We must stand. We must march.


We will march in solidarity.

We will sing in remembrance.

We will speak in truth.

We will release the grief that weighs heavy on our hearts.


We must encourage our people to bury their bullets, not our babies! The time is now. Enough is enough.


As we honor Dr. King’s legacy, we call on 100 clergy from all denominations and faiths to march with us, adorned in their robes and stoles, standing as a sacred witness to our collective commitment to end this cycle of violence. No more silence. No more complacency.


The tree of trauma caused by gun violence has deep roots, but together, we can break the cycle. On this sacred day in America’s history, the entire nation is invited to stand with us.


Our times demand it.

History requires it.

Our babies deserve it.

And God is still watching.


This event is hosted by New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church and sponsored by the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas and Guns to Gardens Tarrant County.

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...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
