WHEN DOVES FLY: Six Triple Eight Sunday at New Mount Rose on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025.



WHEN DOVES FLY: Six Triple Eight Sunday at New Mount Rose on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025 🌹 


On this sacred Palm Sunday, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church joyfully introduced the Little Miss 6888th Historians to the congregation during our special observance of Six Triple Eight Sunday. This deeply meaningful moment marks a new chapter in our ongoing commitment to preserve, protect, and promote the extraordinary legacy of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion — the only all-Black, all-female battalion deployed overseas during World War II.


These bright young ladies are not only students of history — they are now stewards of heritage, preparing to carry this story from our sanctuary to the nation’s capital.



As they get ready to attend the 6888th Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony in Washington, D.C., they are also preparing to make history themselves. The Little Miss 6888th Historians will present the stories of African American veterans to the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress — honoring their service on behalf of the 43 Yellow Roses from Texas, and uplifting the voices of those who paved the way with valor, integrity, and sacrifice.

Honoring the Past, Empowering the Future: The Significance of Our Little Miss 6888th Historians


We are witnessing something truly special: a new generation of young Black girls stepping boldly into the role of historians, storytellers, and community leaders. Through the Little Miss 6888th Historians ministry, these remarkable young ladies are not only learning about our Black military heritage — they are becoming the keepers and sharers of it.


By studying the legacy of the 6888th Battalion, these girls are reclaiming a vital piece of American history too often left untold. They are learning discipline, pride, and purpose as they connect with the strength, courage, and brilliance of the women who came before them. And even more powerfully, they are learning to lead by lifting up those stories in their own voices.


This work is sacred. These young ladies are not just absorbing history; they are breathing new life into it. Through presentations, performances, public ceremonies, and peer mentoring, they are becoming ambassadors of truth and legacy — a living tribute to the women of the 6888th and a bright light for generations to come.

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...
