Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 30, 2025, as Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate January 30, 2025, as "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" in New York. It honors Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American who challenged the 1942 internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, arguing it violated constitutional rights. The resolution commemorates his lifelong civil rights advocacy and his role in the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or affect any specific group but aims to publicly recognize this historical milestone.
