The Michigan Walk of Fame
Andrew Norton
Whether or not it turns out to be a tourist destination or an educational experience remains to be seen. The list of the first 12 inductees into Michigan's Walk of Fame is definitely an ecelectic mix. From an actor to a civil rights pioneer, the group is an interesting look at Michigan's production of historically significant individuals. The Michigan Walk of Fame is to be located in downtown Lansing. Each inductee will have a placque with a 100-word biography describing their achievements (that is the educational part, I guess). So, without further ado, here is the list of the first 12 inductees -
- Rosa Parks
- Gerald Ford
- Henry Ford
- Will Keith Kellogg
- Jeff Daniels
- Stevie Wonder
- E. Genevieve Gillette
- Ernie Harwell
- Fannie Richards
- Helen Thomas
- Thomas Edison
- Herbert Henry Dow
