The
City's lifetime-appointed selection committee initially chose the
first 36 men and women, leaving room for future generations to add
their choices. Careful ongoing study and consideration of historic
data and intense debate has ensured that those who were chosen will
give the visitors to the garden an accurate and comprehensive interpretation
of our past. The bronze plaque on each pedestal will tell not only
the history of the selected person but, in doing so, reveal a fascinating
part of our island's history.
Selection Committee Members:
Dr. Herman Moore, Chairman
