Honoring Heroes, Inspiring the Future: Fort Worth’s Little Miss 6888th Historians Embark on Historic Journey to Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony



Fort Worth, TX – A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is on the horizon for a group of 30 bright young students from New Mount Rose and Miss Endy’s Academy. Known as the Little Miss 6888th Historians, these students will travel to Washington, D.C., on April 29, 2025, to witness history as the legendary 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female unit deployed to Europe during World War II—receives the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation’s highest civilian honor.



Leading this effort are Pastor Kyev Tatum and his wife, Tonya, who have been personally invited to the ceremony. Their mission is not just to attend but to bring the next generation along, ensuring that these young scholars—many from underserved communities—see firsthand the power of perseverance, patriotism, and Black excellence.


“This isn’t just a trip; it’s a transformational experience,” says Pastor Tatum. “These young people, our Little Miss 6888th Historians, will stand in the halls of Congress, where history is being made, and witness the long-overdue recognition of Black women who served our country with distinction. It’s an experience that will shape their futures.”



But making this journey possible requires community support. The cost of bus transportation and lodging for 50 participants—30 students and 20 chaperones—is a significant hurdle. The Tatums are calling on their community, local businesses, and supporters of Black history and education to help fund this inspiring journey.



For many of these students, this will be their first time leaving Texas, their first time visiting the nation’s capital, and their first time experiencing history outside the classroom. They will not only honor the past but also carry its lessons forward—returning to Fort Worth as ambassadors of history, justice, and progress.


“This is about investing in our future,” says Mrs. Tatum. “The women of the 6888th proved that courage and commitment can overcome any obstacle. Our Little Miss 6888th Historians deserve the chance to see that truth in action.”

The total price for the trip that includes transportation and lodging is $15,000.

Supporters can contribute to this historic educational journey in the following ways:

• Make checks payable to: New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church 2864 Mississippi Avenue Fort Worth, Texas 76104.

• Send Zelle donations to: newmtrosembc@gmail.com


Every dollar brings these young minds closer to an experience that will inspire them for a lifetime.


Let’s come together to ensure the Little Miss 6888th Historians take their rightful place in history—learning from the past so they can lead the future.

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...

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...
