GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY

This bill designates March 25, 2026, as Greek Independence Day in the State of Illinois to honor the anniversary of the 1821 Greek War of Independence. It directly affects the Greek community in Illinois by formally recognizing their cultural heritage and historical contributions to modern civilization. The resolution includes background information on the war, the role of international powers, and the significance of Greek culture in fields like science, mathematics, and democracy. This is a ceremonial measure that establishes a specific date for commemoration rather than creating new laws or regulations.
