Texas Delegation Stands Firm in Honoring the 6888th Battalion at Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony


Fort Worth, TX — At a time when Black history is being erased under the guise of dismantling DEI, Pastor Kyev Tatum and Sister Tonya Tatum of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church are ensuring that the heroic legacy of African American servicewomen is not forgotten. On April 29, 2025, they will lead a Texas delegation to Washington, D.C., to attend the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony for the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion at Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol.


This momentous event honors the only all-female, predominantly African American unit to serve overseas during World War II. Despite racial discrimination and the challenges of war, these courageous women cleared a staggering 17-million-piece backlog of undelivered mail in just three months, restoring morale for countless American soldiers.


As the creator of the Texas 6888th Project, Pastor Tatum is committed to ensuring that future generations know the truth about these trailblazing women. He has extended a special invitation to students and parents from Miss Endy’s Christian Academy and the New Mount Rosebuds Youth Ministry to join the delegation, giving young Texans an opportunity to witness history firsthand and carry forward the spirit of resilience, excellence, and service.


Awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022—the highest civilian honor bestowed by the U.S. Congress—the 6888th’s contributions remain a powerful symbol of Black excellence, patriotism, and perseverance. The Texas delegation’s presence at this historic ceremony sends a clear message: We will not allow Black achievements to be erased, ignored, or rewritten.


Join Us in Honoring the 6888th!


Let’s stand together in remembrance and celebration. To learn more or support the Texas delegation’s journey, contact Pastor Kyev Tatum at:

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, ...

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...
