Regional hall of fame in California


The Orange County Hall of Fame is a hall of fame recognizing significant and notable people with a connection to Orange County, California. The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to create the hall in 2023, inducting an inaugural 10-person class in the process. New inductees are selected annually.[1]

Reception

An article published in The Orange County Register criticized the "wee bit two-dimensional" composure of the hall's inaugural class, arguing that it should include people who illustrate the "complex history" of the county. According to the author, notable omissions from the first class included civil rights activist Sylvia Mendez, pastor Rick Warren, Catholic priest Junípero Serra, U.S. president Richard Nixon, and actor John Wayne. The author also satirically suggested that former county officials involved in scandals, such as treasurer Robert Citron and sheriff Mike Carona, be inducted into the hall.[3]
