The Votes are in as the
Museum announces the
2009 Hall Inductees
10 Year Anniversary for
the Museum's Hall of Fame
In 1999, the Museum's Hall of Fame
was established to represent the historic achievements of those that have come
before us. Each year, the previous Hall inductees are eligible to cast their
vote and select the next 10 historic figures.
The previous Hall members are extremely
picking on their choices and needless to say, they have selected a number of
great individuals whose efforts are well deserved. |

The contributions of the Asian American
community have made a significant impact on
Western Society. In the mid 1800s, Asian martial arts became part of
California history
and later spread across the nation and then to the rest of the world.
Art forms such as Kung
Fu, Karate, Kali, Sumo and more have become part of mainstream society.
Today, arts such as
Judo and Tae Kwon Do have become a part of the Olympic games.
