Kinstler has painted portraits of seven presidents and numerous government officials and celebrities. His portraits of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford are the official White House portraits.

Lee, who has appeared as a guest on numerous talk shows and hosted his own show on Court TV, has been a prominent player in many of the most challenging cases of the last 40 years. His testimony figured prominently in the O. J. Simpson trial, and in the conviction of wood-chipper murderer Richard Crafts. 

Musician Jerry Vigorito, a graduate of HCC, will be inducted into the hall. He is the co-founder of Band Together, a group of musicians that holds performances to raise funds for families in need of a helping hand.

The gala will begin at 6 p.m. in the Events Center in Beacon Hall on the HCC campus.

The college is located at 900 Lafayette Blvd. in downtown Bridgeport, less than 150 yards off I-95 and Route 8, a block from the Harbor Yard sports complex.
