Hannah Onek writes:

Olympic gymnast, Aly Raisman was the leading force in the legal fight against Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse of gymnasts. There were 156 women who spoke their truth about their assault because of her initial bravery. It is women like Aly who should be in the hall of fame, for giving a voice to victims and showing that evil does not always win.

Quadasha Vaughn writes:

Harriet Tubman was famous for leading the underground railroad, when she escaped she served as a scout, spy, and nurse during the Civil War. She returned to the south 19 times to free her family and other slaves. She could’ve never looked back and kept living her life a free woman. She was selfless and went back to help others and continued to help our men fighting in a war.

Destiny Perez writes:

“I feel Martin Luther King Jr. is an American hero because he has made a major impact in our nations history. He made a major impact for the better by taking action to provide civil rights. He believed that people should not be treated unequally by the color of their skin and that inside their heart is what makes a person valuable. He made an effort for this country to come together regardless of their skin color and for the nation to unite due to its commitment to peace, non-violence and equality for everyone.”

Miriam Colon, 1962 (Public domain)

from Roger Cunningham

Founder of the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, Miriam is an icon in the Hispanic Community, and especially in the Bronx.  In the mid-70s, I worked with Miriam and was the front man for her summer tours throughout the 5 boroughs and especially in the Bronx.  It was the time of the Bronx is Burning and Fort Apache, the Bronx, and being a red-haired, blue-eyed boy from the farm walking down these mean streets promoting Spanish Language Free Street Theatre was an experience.

Miriam Colon went on to build the first Puerto Rican Theatre on Broadway by renovating a Firehouse on West 47th Street and 8th Avenue.  I was active in securing corporate contributions.

For more information, see Miriam’s obituary from the NY Times which notes that she

“worked on the New York stage from the beginning of her career and, in 1967, founded the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater, with the goal of bringing free bilingual theater to all parts of the city. In 1993 she received an Obie Award for lifetime achievement in Off Broadway theater. In 2015 President Barack Obama awarded her the National Medal of Arts.”
…
“Ms. Colón was a vocal advocate of both funding for the arts and personal self-reliance, as she explained in a 1992 article in The New York Times about overcoming her troupe’s financial difficulties (including a New York State cut in financing) that year.

“I’m not saying the government shouldn’t support us,” she was quoted as saying. “They should. We are just as entitled to that money as the people who build roads.

“But we must not count on it. Through no fault of our own, it can vanish.”

Abraham Maslow – public domain (WikiMedia)

Nominated by Roger Cunningham:

Well, to begin, there are NO psychologists on the Hall of Fame! I suppose William James would be an appropriate add, being that he is considered the first American Psychologist.

However, I choose Abraham Maslow, as the founder of the Third Force in Psychology, the Humanist Movement and later Transpersonal Psychology. Maslow was born in Brooklyn, NY and taught at Brooklyn College before going to Brandeis.

Abraham Maslow developed the theory of human motivation now known as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. A psychologist, Maslow noted that some human needs were more powerful than others. He divided those needs into five general categories, from most urgent to most advanced: physiological, safety, belonging/love, esteem, and self-actualization.

He later added to the top of the Heirarchy, Transpersonal, our relationship with our Higher Power. psychology that studies transcendent, or spiritual dimensions of humanity.

Transpersonal Psychology is interested to explore extreme wellness or optimal well-being. It is interested in those cases of persons who have often or perhaps permanently expanded their “normal sense of identity” to include the supra- or trans-personal, the Self of all selves, the One underlying the Many. Transpersonal Psychology explicitly acknowledges and makes use of the profound spiritual psychologies of the Great Traditions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, mystic Christianity, Judaism and Muslim Sufism). This allows us to include all cultures in our teaching of psychology and human services.

This was inclusive of Maslow first published his theory in the 1940s, and amended in the 1960s and it became a widely accepted notion in the fields of psychology and anthropology. Maslow was a professor at Brandeis University from 1951 until 1969; his major texts included Motivation and Personality (1954) and Toward a Psychology of Being (1962).
