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.

Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight.

Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time.
