"These luminaries represent the best of California," said First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. "Each one has left their own indelible mark on history and reminds us of the creativity, ingenuity and courage that lives inside all of us."
The California Hall of Fame launched in 2006 to honor trailblazing Californians who embody the state's spirit of innovation and have made history. Inductees are selected annually by the Governor and First Partner for achievements in Arts, Business and Labor, Entertainment, Food and Wine, Literature, Music, Public Service, Science and Sports. Traditionally, California Hall of Fame inductees are celebrated in an annual ceremony held at the Museum.
"We're thrilled to welcome this new class of inductees with Governor Newsom and the First Partner," said California Museum Board of Trustees Chair Richard S. Costigan III. "We look forward to inspiring visitors virtually with their remarkable stories through the online exhibitions published on the new California Hall of Fame website."
