| Description |
In 2012, the Libertarian Party (LP) established the Hall of Liberty to honor lifetime or significant achievement having a lasting effect on the Libertarian Party or libertarian movement. Previously, the Thomas Jefferson Award had served as the award for lifetime achievement, the highest honor the Libertarian Party could bestow. Also in 2012, the awards committee changed the purpose of the Jefferson Award to recognize “outstanding leadership, high character, and dedication to the principles and goals of the party.”
These two changes inadvertently created a discontinuity in the awards. To resolve this, in December 2016, the Libertarian National Committee moved to induct into the Hall of Liberty all who had received the Thomas Jefferson Award for lifetime achievement prior to the 2012 changes. The motion was adopted without objection.
Four recipients of the Jefferson Award prior to 2012 already have been inducted in the Hall of Liberty: David Nolan, Ed Clark, Harry Browne, and Bill Redpath. Five pre-2012 Jefferson Award recipients have not been inducted into the Hall of Liberty. So these five Jefferson Award recipients — David Bergland, John Perry, Ron Crickenberger, Ruth Bennett, and Jim Lark — will be inducted during the LP’s biennial convention being held June 30 through July 3.
