This place has been accessible only to students since COVID.
It's a New York City Landmark that only students can see, even though it is outdoors so little risk from COVID. It should be available to the public to enjoy and appreciate.

Why I love the love the picture I can't picture frames and and different design to the picture
A sad relic of a time past, when this campus was New York University. The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is largely ignored by the Politically Correct crowd for decades now. A few monuments have been removed by revisionists. Go and visit, before they destroy more.
It is pretty cool to stand there and witness greatness before you were born, knowing your coming here for your education. I wish that there were more diverse faces that contributed to the successes of world so others ethnicity could feel a sense of pride. But it is still an amazing walk through and I'm glad I took the opportunity to explore.
Bust are not very diverse. There's a few black Americans, 1-2 women, no native Americans nor Hispanics. Mainly old white men including those who fought in the Confederate army. I thought the Confederate army was the enemy and lost. Strange how the losers got a bust. The area looks beautiful nevertheless. A little walkthru with a loved one for educational purposes is a nice touch. Many movies and TV shows have filmed there. To gain access to the hall you must show valid ID to get onto campus. Campus is public but you must have permission if you are not a BCC student. Hall of Fame is located within the Bronx community college campus. Adjacent to the new library and curves around three campus buildings philosophy Hall, Gould memorial and language hall.
Cool structure, a little dated and some of the quotes are hard to read. Also not very representative of the demographic that attends the school.
This entire campus is fantastic. One look and you know it was not built as a community college. (See Bronx Community College). The walk is a stroll through American history and thought. Great scholars, generals, doctors, nurses look out at you and descriptive plaques tell you what they did. A must see in the Bronx.
