Two women were the top vote-getters in the process to name a new Fort Worth Public Library in the far southwest part of the city.
"I am proud that the new library will be named after Vivian J. Lincoln - such a fitting name for an institution that will inspire lifelong learning, family and fun."Vivian J. Lincoln, a longtime educator and the first female African American principal in the Crowley Independent School District, garnered 2,968 votes placing her at the top of the list for the naming of Fort Worth's new library.
"With more than 5,000 votes in this naming effort, it was thrilling to see the community become so invested and involved early on with this library," said Manya Shorr, Fort Worth Public Library director."Both of these dynamic women made a positive impact on Fort Worth, and I know their families are honored by the community support for their legacies."
Lincoln is from Drew County, Arkansas. She graduated with honors from the University of Arkansas at Monticello in 1978, and earned a master's degree from TCU in 1994. She loved learning and loved the field of education, which became her life's work. Vivian died on May 14, 2022. According to her family, one of Lincoln's favorite quotes was,"Excellence begins in the home, is nurtured in our schools and is demonstrated throughout life."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
