Human Rights Hall of Fame

 

About the Hall of Fame

In March 2001, the Montgomery County Office of Human Rights inducted the first 20 honorees into the Human Rights Hall of Fame. Since March 2002, the induction ceremony is held biennially. The inductees are honored for having made great personal sacrifices and contributions to human and civil rights in Montgomery County, either as trailblazers of the past or as current foot soldiers in the struggle.  The next Hall of Fame Ceremony is in 2010.

Selection Criteria

The selection criteria for Hall of Fame members, living or deceased, is exemplary leadership, achievement and lasting impact on Montgomery County's human rights movement. Hall of Fame inductees, nominated by the community and selected by a panel of community judges, may not include any current staff member of the Montgomery County Office of Human Rights.
