Mayor’s Welcome Letter

GREETINGS!

It is my pleasure to welcome the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Banquet on July 25, 2015. We hope that you will savor your stay and time spent here enjoying the unique mix of cultural activities found only in the city “Where the West Begins.”

As Mayor, it is with great pride that I would like to tell you about our city, a city of cowboys, culture and community. In one visit you can enjoy an enormous range of experiences – from art to animals, from fashion to family fun. We offer lessons in western history with a tour of the Historic Stockyards, auto racing at the Texas Motor Speedway or a relaxing night of shopping and dining in downtown’s historic Sundance Square. The choice is yours!

While you are in Fort Worth, we hope you get a chance to visit:

■ Our downtown area … a nationally noted model of successful urban renaissance filled with restaurants, museums, art galleries, theaters and an abundance of retail shopping. The Sundance Square area of downtown is a “must-see” for everyone visiting the city.

■ The Cultural District … recognized as the “museum capital of the Southwest,” is home to world-class museums. We are proud to be home to the Texas Cowgirl Hall of Fame, and we have an outstanding Equestrian Center, one of the country’s top-ranked zoos, and a multitude of beautiful parks and gardens.

■ Northside’s historic Stockyards area … a delightful journey into the city’s western heritage. You are sure to enjoy the area’s many shops and restaurants while finding a real-life cowboy or two outfitted with horses and even the cattle drive of the Fort Worth Herd of longhorns!

One of our most valuable assets is our people. Visitors often cite the “Fort Worth Friendly” spirit of our citizens and businesses as the top reason they plan a return visit.

We are pleased you chose Fort Worth and hope you enjoy your time in Cowtown.

About the Museum

Our Mission

The primary objective of the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame is to offer the visitor a true and complete historical perspective of the people and activities that built the unique culture of the American West. The work of artists who documented the people and events of the time through journals photographs and other historical items are part of this new collection.

These long overlooked materials tell perhaps for the first time the complete story. The American West of today still operates on many of the principles and cultural

relationships begun so long ago.

Our Vision

The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum’s Hall of Fame was founded to give recognition to the outstanding pioneers who played a role in

settling the early American western frontier. The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame also acknowledges individuals that have

contributed to the western culture and tradition and play a part in keeping this important piece of American History alive.

CLOSING REMARKS Jim and Gloria Austin

Museum Founders

Judge Paul Brady Judge Paul L. Brady was born in Flint, Michigan and is a graduate of Washburn University School of Law. He was the first African-American ever appointed a Federal Administrative Law Judge. His 31 years of service to the Federal government included 25 years as an Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission Judge. He also served as the First Judge of the agency’s Atlanta Regional Office. He is a veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Judge Brady developed an early interest in the law by his personal involvement in the landmark desegregation case Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka. His aunt, Mrs. Lucinda Todd, initiated the case when she was unable to get music education for her daughter in the city’s black schools. Judge Brady said he abandoned a career in psychology after “being inspired by a small group of dedicated people” who met and developed his aunt’s case in their home.

Judge Brady, now retired, went on to pursue an illustrious career as a lawyer and judge. He spent 11 years in private practice in Chicago, Illinois, and in 1968 became the first African-American attorney employed by the Federal Power Commission. As a supervising trial attorney, he received the Commission’s highest award for outstanding performance. Later, he received nationwide recognition for his efforts in organizing government lawyers to assist in the Washington, D.C. Volunteer Neighborhood Legal Services Program. Among other honors, he was an initial inductee in 1991 in the Alumni Hall of Fame of Flint Central High School, his alma mater. In 2004, Washburn Law School also honored Judge Brady by inviting him to be its Commencement Day speaker.

Judge Brady is a lifetime member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He is the author of A Certain Blindness, a book chronicling his family’s history as typical of the efforts of other African-American families to participate in the pursuit of America’s democratic vision. Included in the book is the story of his uncle Bass Reeves, a former slave, appointed as a U.S. Deputy Marshall in 1875. Bass Reeves was the first Africa-American Federal Officer to serve on the Western Frontier. Judge Brady accepted Bass Reeves’ posthumous induction as the first African-American in the Great Westerners Hall of the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. He also accepted Bass Reeves’ posthumous induction into the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas in 2006. Judge Brady is the author of The Black Badge: Deputy United States Marshal Bass Reeves from Slave to Heroic Lawman, a book about his great-uncle, Bass Reeves, a former slave, who, in 1875, was appointed U.S. Deputy Marshal and became the first African-American to serve as a federal enforcement officer on the western frontier.

Judge Brady is the father of two children Paul L. Brady, Jr., and Dr. Kathleen Brady. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Xernona Clayton, a television executive, civil rights activist and founder and creator of the Trumpet Awards.

Hall of FameInductee

Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, singer, comedian, writer, and producer.

As an actor, his work in the 2004 Ray Charles biographical film Ray earned him the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a musical or comedy. The same year, he

was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the action film Collateral. Other prominent roles include the title role in the film Django Unchained (2012), the villain Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2013) and William Stacks in the 2014 version of Annie. Foxx also starred in his own television show from 1996 to 2001, the sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show, in which he played Jamie King.

In 2013, Foxx was cast as President James Sawyer in White House Down alongside Channing Tatum. The following year, Foxx appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as the villain Electro, and co-starred with Quvenzhané Wallis in Annie, Sony’s Will Smith and Jay-Z produced update of the comic strip-turned-musical.

Hall of FameInductee

Walt Garrison Born in Denton, Texas, Garrison attended nearby Lewisville High School in Lewisville, and graduated in 1962. Garrison enrolled at Oklahoma State University and began his freshman year on defense as a linebacker, until Phil Cutchin became OSU head coach in the spring and moved him to running back.

He finished his sophomore season only 12 yards behind rushing leader George Thomas Jr. As a junior in 1964, he led the Big Eight Conference in rushing with 730 yards and was also named All-Academic Big-8.

Garrison completed his senior season as OSU’s leading rusher with 924 yards and led the Cowboys’ to their first win over Oklahoma in 20 years. He was named to the All Big-8 team and his post-season highlights included appearances in the East–West Shrine Game in San Francisco, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where he was voted the Outstanding Back of the North team, the Coaches All-America Game in Atlanta and the College All-Star Game in Chicago against the Green Bay Packers.

He was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma State University Hall of Honor.

Garrison was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round of the 1966 NFL Draft. Known for his toughness and blocking, he took over at fullback after the retirement of Don Perkins in 1969 and had a career high 818 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. His style of play and perceived ability to play hurt brought him recognition in Cowboys lore, which included playing the 1970 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers with a cracked collarbone and a serious ankle injury.[1]

During Dallas’ championship season of 1971, Garrison showed his pass-catching skills, leading the team in receiving with 40 catches and a 9.9 per catch average. He made the Pro Bowl after the 1972 season when he rushed for 784 yards and 7 touchdowns. That year he was a major part of the Cowboys’ three-headed rushing attack that also included Calvin Hill and Duane Thomas. The previous year, the Cowboys had ridden these three running backs all the way to a Super Bowl VI victory.[2] Garrison was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in September 1972 for its pro football preview issue; the photo was from Super Bowl VI in January.[3] After the season he was named to the 1973 Pro Bowl.

A “real” cowboy, he spent time on the professional rodeo circuit during the football off-seasons. His signing bonus with the Cowboys in 1966 season included a horse trailer. A knee injury he sustained in an exhibition steer wrestling accident at the College National Rodeo Finals in 1974 ended his pro football career. He was replaced in the starting lineup with Robert Newhouse.

Garrison played in the NFL for 9 seasons (missing only 7 games), all of them with the Cowboys. He finished his career with 3,886 yards rushing and 1,794 yards receiving. Garrison retired as the third leading rusher and fourth leading receiver in team history.

One of the more humorous sports quotes was attributed to Cowboy quarterback Don Meredith speaking about Garrison’s dependability, “If it was third down, and you needed four yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, he’d get ya five. And if it was third down and ya needed twenty yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, by God, he’d get you five.”

Garrison was named to the Dallas Cowboys 25th anniversary team and was also inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

Holt Hickman POSTHUMOUS

As a youth, Holt Hickman worked the ranches. When he was not in school he made frequent trips with his father to the stockyards to buy and sell cattle. He remembered thousands of head of cattle in the pens, the smells, the sounds, and “the excitement of it.” After graduating from SMU, Hickman joined his father’s company, Fort Worth Battery and Automotive. He and his wife, Jo, had two

children, Brenda & Brad, and for the next 30 years, the Stockyards would be the last thing on his mind. Mr. Hickman was the founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Hickman Companies, a diverse collection of more than 50 business entities in the areas of commercial real estate, oil and gas, farming/ranching and entertainment.

In the 1980’s Hickman’s interest in the Stockyards would be rekindled as he began purchasing property in the historic Northside district. In 1988, Mr. Hickman and partners reopened the legendary Billy Bob’s Texas and the rest, as they say, was history. With their deep love of Fort Worth and the western way of life as the driving force, he and Jo then opened the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2001. Home to the John Justin Trail of Fame and Sterquell Wagon Collection, the largest lifestyle wagon collection in the world, the Hall of Fame also houses one-of-a-kind memorabilia from over 150 men and women who have shown excellence in the sport, business and support of rodeo and the western lifestyle in Texas. Mr. Hickman also spearheaded the arrival of a tourist train into Stockyards Station, an 85,000 square foot project that Hickman developed with Dallas businesswoman Lyda Hunt Hill.

Today, the Fort Worth Stockyards is one of the top tourist attractions in the state of Texas. Due to his business success, Mr. Hickman was able to devote much of his time and energy to the great city of Fort Worth, which he referred to as “The Center of the Universe.” Congresswoman Kay Granger best sums up Mr. Hickman, “His energy, generosity and vision will continue to enhance our city’s cowboy heritage for generations to come.” Mr. Hickman’s numerous accolades include Outstanding Business Executive from the Fort Worth Business Hall of Fame, Business Executive of the Year (2000) from Texas Wesleyan’s 31st annual Business Hall of Fame Ceremony, Golden Deeds Award (2006) and induction into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and Texas Trail of Fame.

Hall of FameInductee

Harvey Means POSTHUMOUS

Harvey Means was born in 1868 in Teague, Texas, to slave parents. He lived the early part his adult of his life in West Texas, working as a barber and cowboy to cowboys. Later he married, Alexenia Wallace, and moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and established a barbershop in downtown Fort Worth. He was considered one of the most

successful businessmen and leaders in the community. His funeral was attended by a representative of the Governor of Texas and many other leaders, both black and white, with attendees overflowing into the sidewalk outside the church.

A Texas State Marker in Teague, Texas stands in testament of his remarkable life.

Harvey was first and foremost a man that valued family and understood the importance of family togetherness. The family home, which was at 1200 Cannon in Fort Worth, was used as a gathering place for family and the community during his lifetime, and after his death, was a place that family members knew would always be a place to stay and a place for family love. Harvey believed in educating his children so that they could achieve a better life. Among his 10 children who attended and graduated from college, there was a dentist, businessman, and teachers.

Although Harvey Means had no formal education or business training, he used his talent as a barber to cowboys to become one of Fort Worth’s most prominent businessmen, through the establishment of his own barbershop in downtown Fort Worth. Through this business, he became known by political and business leaders, who helped him to grow his business and were usually his customers. He purchased and owned extensive properties in West Texas, including a working ranch.

His commitment to the Fort Worth community as civic and community leader, was exemplified in his founding of a hospital and park for black residents. He was also a philanthropist and contributed generously to those in need. A man of faith, he was active in St. Andrews Methodist Church. He was considered a man of reason and was actively sought out by leaders

Hall of FameInductee

Steve Murrin

Steve is a fourth generation Texan and a visionary in bringing tourism to the Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District and international visitors to Texas.

As a Fort Worth Businessman, a Realtor and Developer, civic leader, patron of the arts, and former city councilman, he is recognizably known as the “Mayor of the Stockyards.”

Beginning in 1973, Steve led the fight to revive and refurbish the area of north Fort Worth known as the Stockyards. It was always a difficult, and frequently a lonely, struggle. Though significant touchstones to our history and Western Heritage, the Stockyards where in a state of extreme disrepair. Many would stand in the middle of the Exchange Avenue and see only despair and decay, and say, bulldoze, now. Not Steve, for what he saw was a vision, a dream – a thriving monument not only to history but to commerce and entertainment as well. So Steve Murrin invested his money, his sweat and his vision. Anyone within earshot of Steve the last 40 years quickly learned the Stockyards’ story and why it was important to Fort Worth Texas. The restoration of the historic Cowtown Coliseum is but one example of his leadership and hard work. In 1976, Steve was able to reverse a city council action that would have prevented the coliseum from hosting a rodeo for 30 years, until 2006. This rodeo is one of the leading attractions in the Stockyards today. Steve was born in Fort Worth, where he lives at West Fork Ranch, still a working ranch that has been in his family since the 1930’s.

Hall of FameInductee

Danell Tipton

Just as a fly lands on the back of a 2000 pound bull, the same with a 5’7”, 150 pound cowboy, that bull knows he’s got a pest on his back that he wants off and he’s going to do his best to do what it takes to get it off as quick as he can. But if that pest is a cowboy by the name of Danell Tipton, the shaking off is not an easy thing.

Danell was born on July 22nd, 1973 in Spencer, Oklahoma where at the age of 13 he got this urge to climb atop a junior bull at the East Side Roundup Club in Choc-taw, Oklahoma. He however did not have $10 to pay the entry fee, so he ran to his grandmother, Willie Mae Tipton, and asked for the cash to which she let him have. The rest is, as they say, history as Willie Mae drove him to train with three time IPRA Bareback Champion Arthur Stoner, who happened to live in the Garden Day housing addition in East Oklahoma City in a non-rodeo neighborhood.

In 1992 he joined the IPRA and in ’93 he made the finals finishing 7th in the world. In December of ’94 he astonished the crowd by taking 2nd overall over 60 rodeos. At the IFR in 1996, Danell won the finals average and the association’s bull year-end championship before a crowd of over eleven thousand fans.

In 1998, Danell joined the PRCA and under the tutelage of the PRCA’s first black bull riding champion, Charles Sampson. That year Danell took home The Rookie of the Year and Bull Riding World Titles.

Hall of FameInductee

Gordon Tonips POSTHUMOUS

Gordon Wade Tonips was born in 1950 around the Chilocco Indian School in Northern, Oklahoma where his Grandmother worked. He could almost always be found in the Art Department drawing, painting and sculpting while being immersed in Indian culture. He proudly served in the Air Force from 1969-1971, where his duty was officially

in supply but he actually assisted the local General with all the needed artwork at the time.

Gordon met and married Tomazane “Tommye” Rains of Benbrook in 1973. After a few years working for the City of Fort Worth in the Planning Department, he struck out on his own. He and Tommye opened their own small printing company on the East side of Fort Worth called Wampum Graphics, where he was heard to say “There is no money in it, but we are happy.”

After 19 years in the printing business Gordon’s calling finally changed to his Indian roots and he began to explore his sculpting talents full-time. It is reported that Tonips said “When I began to turn my talents to Native American art, I was encouraged by the Comanche artist and flutist Doc. Tate Navaquaya who guided me to follow my dreams. He also told me if you want happiness; look in your own back yard. Thus I discovered these beautiful sandstone boulders and to my surprise they spoke to me with images of the ancient past. When I sculpt a stone, I travel into the past a thousand years and re-live the daily lives of the great people who built and lived in these sacred places.” For the last fifteen years of Gordon’s life, he was an award winning sculptor, painter, dancer, story teller and living history reenactor.

Gordon Wade Tonips passed August 23, 2011, in Fort Worth, Texas, survived by his wife of thirty-eight (38) years Tommye; son; Eric Tonips and wife Rachel; daughter; Ameé Bynum and husband Anthony. Eric’s four children; Kelsi, Karli, Gavin and Kenli. Ameé’s boys; Andrew and Colin Bynum. Gordon’s mother; Almeta Tonips, sisters; Nina Taylor and Patty (Bea) Tonips, niece; Melody Fischer and her son Garrett Fischer.

Hall of FameInductee

Randy W hite

Randy White was the Dallas Cowboys’ first pick and the second player selected in the 1975 National Football League Draft, and was moved to middle linebacker, where he was a backup to Cowboy legend Lee Roy Jordan, play-ing mostly on special teams his first two seasons, including his rookie season when Dallas lost to the Pittsburgh Steel-

ers in Super Bowl X. During his third season (1977), White was moved to right defensive tackle.

That year would prove to be his breakout year; he was named to his first All-Pro team, his first Pro Bowl, and (on his 25th birthday) was named co-MVP of Super Bowl XII with teammate Harvey Martin, making him one of only seven defensive players to win that honor. In 1978, White was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Year, and would be named to nine consecutive All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams. He retired in 1988, having played 209 games in 14 seasons, only missing one game dur-ing that span. At the time of his retirement, he had played the second most of any Dallas Cowboy in history. During those 14 years, he played in three Super Bowls, six NFC Championship Games, and accumulated 1,104 tackles (701 solo) and 111 sacks. His highest single season sack total was 16 in 1978. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994. On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the naming of the only co-MVPs in Super Bowl history, Super Bowl XLVII, which like Super Bowl XII was played in New Orleans, Louisiana, was dedicated to White.
