Recognizing the importance of establishing a national "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution".
Summary
This resolution proposes the establishment of a national "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" to honor the legacy of Fred Korematsu, who famously challenged the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. If passed, the measure would encourage citizens to reflect on the importance of protecting civil rights and maintaining constitutional vigilance, especially during times of national emergency or uncertainty. While several states already observe this day on January 30th, this federal resolution seeks to provide national recognition for Korematsu’s advocacy for justice and equality.
