Souls Made of Gold – Medal Sponsorship



Dear Friends and Supporters,


This is not just another invitation — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make history.


This November, Black Texans, Inc., New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, and the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association will proudly present SOULS MADE OF GOLD, a 10-day commemoration of 250 years of Black military service — from the very first shots of the American Revolution in 1775 to the ongoing War on Terror in 2025.


From the Black Minutemen who fought for liberty at Lexington and Concord, to the Buffalo Soldiers who built the West, to the Harlem Hellfighters of World War I, the Six Triple Eight postal battalion of World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and today’s Global War on Terror — our ancestors have fought, bled, and died for a freedom that did not always fight for them.


Now, we have the chance to fight for their memory.



A NATIONAL MOMENT OF RECOGNITION


As part of this historic celebration, we will present Congressional Gold Medals produced by the U.S. Mint to honor:

• The 369th Infantry Regiment (“Harlem Hellfighters”) – the most celebrated African American combat regiment of World War I.

• The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (“Six Triple Eight”) – the only all-Black, all-female battalion deployed overseas during World War II.


The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest honors our nation can bestow. These presentations will bring long-overdue recognition to the descendants and communities connected to these courageous heroes.


This is more than a ceremony — it is an act of national remembrance and generational justice.

This is your chance to stand in the gap for those who stood on the battlefield.

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...
