Johnny K. Wu Cleveland International Hall of Fame
Class of 2024
Since 2010, the Cleveland International Hall of Fame (CIHF) has inducted people who have made significant and lasting contributions to our multicultural society. Cleveland is home to people representing about 120 different ethnic groups. The CIHF exists not only to honor those special people but also to inspire a new generation of leaders to follow in their footsteps.
Over 100 worthy candidates were nominated for the 2024 Class of the Cleveland International Hall of Fame. The selection committee was advised by previously inducted members of the Cleveland International Hall of Fame.
Johnny K. Wu
The April 23, 2024 induction event at Windows on the River was a sell out with 500 people in attendance.
Johnny K. Wu is of Chinese heritage but his influence spans many cultures from serving as longtime president of the Organization of Chinese Americans, co-founder of the Cleveland Asian Festival, producer of One World Day and much more.
Johnny Wu was inducted by Margaret Wong. Over 50 years ago, award-winning practicing immigration lawyer Margaret Wong started her firm after years of adversity.
