Nebraska Hall of Fame

The bust of Malcolm X, the 27th member of Nebraska Hall of Fame, has been installed upon the limestone base with the official bronze plaque (created by artist Nathan Murray, a Nebraska resident) announcing his membership and contribution to society. After a 20-year journey and enduring the 5-year nomination cycle three times, the historic bust now sits on its pedestal in the Nebraska Capitol Rotunda’s courtyard galleries. The Hall of Fame is open to visitors during the Capitol’s regular pubic hours. The Malcolm X Memorial Foundation wants to thank all of the state residents who took the time out to write letters, show up in person to testify and implore national attention at this historic moment! We are grateful to finally see Malcolm X inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame on May 22, 2024.
