SOULS MADE OF GOLD: By Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr., Publisher, Black Texans, Inc.



FORT WORTH, TEXAS - Black Texans, Inc. and New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church—under the inspired leadership of Pastor Kyev Tatum—were deeply honored to lead the Souls Made of Gold Veterans Day Weekend Commemorations across White Oak, Tyler, and Haltom City, Texas. With joyful pride and heartfelt reverence, this year’s celebration uplifted the extraordinary legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers, the 369th Infantry Regiment—Harlem Hellfighters, and the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, lovingly known as the Six Triple Eight. The 2025 observance also marked a historic milestone: 250 years of courageous service in the American Armed Forces, from 1775 to 2025.



As our nation moves toward its Semiquincentennial in 2026, Black Texans, Inc., New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, and our dedicated community partners remain energized and steadfast in shining a bright light on the men and women who served heroically in segregated military units—from the Civil War through the Korean War. Their sacrifices shaped the soul of this nation, and their stories continue to inspire and empower generations.

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...
