LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING IN MORNINGSIDE!



LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING IN MORNINGSIDE!

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” —Amos 5:24


“Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us…”


The Morningside STEAM Community is a bold, visionary initiative born from the soul of Fort Worth’s historic 76104 ZIP code—a community where the shadows of systemic neglect, educational inequities, and health disparities stretch long and deep. Anchored at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, in the very neighborhood burdened with the lowest life expectancy in Texas, this movement rises—singing a new song of faith, hope, and resilience.


“Lift every voice and sing

Till earth and heaven ring

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty…”


In Morningside, we reclaim the sacred right of every child to dream, to create, and to thrive. We champion Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) not simply as a curriculum, but as a liberating force for transformation. And at the heart of it all is the “A” for Arts—because we believe that imagination is the engine of innovation, and that creativity is the language of liberation.


“Let our rejoicing rise

High as the listening skies

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea…”


Through visual art, music, dance, poetry, storytelling, and digital design, we are raising a generation who see not limits, but limitless possibility. In Morningside, art is not an accessory—it is a compass for inquiry, a tool for healing, and a mirror of self-worth. It helps our youth see themselves as they truly are: brilliant, bold, and born to lead.



“We have come over a way that with tears has been watered

We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered…”


Our children are not statistics. They are not defined by a ZIP code. They are stars rising from soil soaked in struggle and sacrifice. They stand where ancestors once dreamed—on sacred ground—painting a future with every brushstroke, coding change with every keystroke, imagining freedom with every heartbeat.


“Facing the rising sun of our new day begun

Let us march on till victory is won…”


The Morningside STEAM Community is not just a program. It is a movement of justice. A blueprint for equity-centered innovation. It honors culture, cultivates genius, and closes opportunity gaps while opening portals to power, possibility, and purpose.


“God of our weary years, God of our silent tears

Thou who has brought us thus far on the way…”



With every lesson taught, every melody lifted, and every dream awakened, we answer the prayers of our ancestors. We move forward, shadowed beneath God’s hand, staying true to our God, true to our native land, and true to the brilliance that burns in every child in Morningside.


This is not just STEAM.

This is soul work.

This is sacred work.

This is Morningside.


Lift every voice. Let every child shine. Let the harmonies of liberty ring.

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...
