In addition, this project is included in the Fort Worth Public Art program's Fiscal Year 200&2009 Annual Work Pian, adopted by City Council on September 30, 2008, {M&C C-23101 } as a part of the City's agreement with the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Inc., for administration of the Fort Worth Public Art Program. At the request of the Tarrant County Black Genealogical and Historical Society, Inc., a concept for a two- fold historic commemoration project was developed by the Fort Worth Public Art program with input from representatives of the City of Fort Worth, The T and Wood Partners, the owner of the T and P Terminal Building. The goals of the project are to acknowledge the "cobred waiting room" which once existed in the Historic Texas and Pacific Terminal Building, to commemorate African-Americans' contribution to the workforce in the railroad industry and to commemorate The Honorable Ga~eld Thompson -one such worker who then rose to become a Texas State Representative. Using the process and guidelines established in the Fort Worth Public Art Master Plan, which City Council adopted in September 2003, an artist selection panel chaired by Councilmember Joel Burns with Mayor Pro Tem Kathleen Hicks and including representatives of The T, Texas and Pacific Lofts, the Fort Worth Art Commission and the community, reviewed the qualifications of 10 local artists from the Fort Worth Public Art Registry and the Pre-Qualified List of Artists on March 6, 2008, and selected three finalists. On May 19, 2008, the artist selection panel reviewed the finalists' proposals for the project and ultimately recommended artist Jeff Gottfried for the project.
