Putting A Little Love in the Heart of Fort Worth

FORT WORTH, TX — The Inner City Coffee Exchange proudly announces the launch of a signature citywide experience: the Coffee in Cowtown Coffee Festival & Youth Coffee Expo, taking place October 16–17, 2026, at General Worth Square in downtown Fort Worth.


Built around the theme “Coffee: The Language of Love,” this two-day festival invites the community—and visitors from across the region—to gather, connect, and experience the power of coffee to bring people together.




A FESTIVAL WITH HEART


In a time when many communities are navigating division, stress, and uncertainty, Coffee in Cowtown offers something simple yet transformative: a space to reconnect.


Coffee has long been a meeting place—where conversations begin, relationships grow, and understanding is built. This festival takes that everyday experience and elevates it into a citywide movement rooted in one idea:


When we come together, we can put a little more love into the heart of our city.




WHAT TO EXPECT IN COWTOWN


For two days, General Worth Square will transform into a vibrant destination filled with:

• Specialty coffee vendors, roasters, and cafés

• Live music and cultural performances

• A marketplace featuring local businesses and entrepreneurs

• Interactive coffee tastings and demonstrations

• Family-friendly activities for all ages


From first sip to final song, the festival is designed to create an atmosphere of joy, connection, and shared experience.




INVESTING IN THE FUTURE: YOUTH COFFEE EXPO


At the heart of the event is the Youth Coffee Expo, a hands-on initiative focused on workforce development and entrepreneurship.


Young people will gain exposure to:

• Barista training and coffee craft

• Small business development and ownership pathways

• Mentorship from industry professionals

• Career opportunities within the growing coffee economy


This effort reflects a broader commitment to equipping the next generation with tools for success—right here in Fort Worth.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Texas 6888th Project.

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...

A BOND OF BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS BUT SERVANTS OF THE SAME HEAVENLY FATHER. “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” – Proverbs 17:17 Washington, DC — Very few are ever granted the privilege of attending a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony—much less two in the same year. Yet in 2025, Fort Worth leaders Lt. Colonel Richard Crossley, Minister Derrick Johnson, and Pastor Kyev Tatum were honored by United States Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to stand in witness at not one, but two historic moments of national remembrance. On April 29, 2025, they joined descendants and dignitaries in Emancipation Hall as America bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal upon the legendary 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (Six Triple Eight). Then, on September 3, 2025, they again gathered at the U.S. Capitol to honor the valor of the 369th Infantry Regiment, the Harlem Hellfighters. These sacred ceremonies brought together veterans, families, and citizens who came ...
