Hall of Fame Inductees: Support
This area is currently under construction. Please find below the current list of inductees as well as the year in which they were inducted into the Hall of Fame by the members of the OFTA. Please note that the most recent additions have been listed like this. We are working on an area to give more details on our selections.
EDITORIAL NOTE: Hall of Fame inductees are selected based on three primary considerations: the historic, aesthetic, and cultural significance of each inductee. Some individuals were byproducts of a certain time period and their views reflected that era. Those individuals who still live are held to higher standards than those who have passed as it’s incumbent upon each of us to grow, improve, and adapt to standards of fairness, equity, and liberty. While we cannot change the past and who we have inducted previously, we will acknowledge that we must do better. Our organization pledges to do what it can to promote inclusion and tolerance. As such, we will do what we can to induct only those individuals of strong character whose actions are a reflection of the ideals of the present.
