The New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, in collaborationi with the Black Mothers Forum of Arizona and the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas, is proud to announce the formation of the Texas MicroSchools Collective (TXM). On Thursday, August 28, 2025, the MJC voted unanimously to approve the formation of the Texas MicroSchools Collective in partnership with Black Mothers Forum. 


This groundbreaking initiative will bring together churches and community partners across Texas to plan, plant, and promote faith-based microschools as part of our Circle of Churches Collective. The hub of this effort will be located at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, 2864 Mississippi Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas.



What is a Microschool?



A microschool is a small, flexible, and personalized learning environment—often serving fewer than 15 students—that provides an alternative to traditional education. Rooted in the spirit of the Rosenwald one-room schoolhouse (https://blacktexans.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-fathers-of-school-choice-for-black.html, microschools emphasize:


  • Small Size: Intimate settings with low student-to-teacher ratios.
  • Personalization: Tailored learning experiences that match each child’s pace, style, and strengths.
  • Flexibility: Adaptable curricula and structures responsive to community needs.
  • Community-Based: Anchored in churches, homes, and local centers to meet families where they are.
  • Innovation: Freedom from rigid bureaucracy, allowing creative approaches to teaching and learning.




How They Differ from Traditional Schools



Unlike large, standardized school systems, microschools provide:


  • Stronger student–teacher relationships.
  • Wider variety in curriculum and teaching styles, including project-based learning and technology integration.
  • Independent governance free from excessive bureaucracy.
  • Creative models of operation, from independent private schools to partnerships with churches and homeschool networks.




The Black Mothers Forum Model



The Black Mothers Forum (BMF) has pioneered a microschool approach that centers on the needs of Black—and increasingly Latine—students who often face challenges in traditional public schools. Their success in Arizona has sparked growing interest in Texas, inspiring families and community leaders to replicate and expand this model through the Texas MicroSchools Collective.



Why This Matters



Microschools are transforming education by breaking old assumptions about governance, funding, performance, and educator preparation. As these models take root in Texas, the TXM Collective will be committed to creating sustainable structures that empower parents, support educators, and provide children with safe, nurturing, and effective learning spaces.

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...
