Relative to Japanese American concentration camps.

This House Resolution designates February 19, 2025, as a "Day of Remembrance" in California to honor the 83rd anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which led to the incarceration of over 125,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. It aims to increase public awareness of this historical injustice and its impact on American citizens and residents of Japanese ancestry. The resolution does not create new laws or financial obligations but formally recognizes past government actions and supports ongoing efforts to prevent similar violations of civil liberties. It directly affects Californians by establishing a state-level observance to educate the public about this period in history.
