ACR 96 (Hayashi) - As Introduced: September 10, 2009
SUBJECT : Korean-American Day.
SUMMARY : Proclaims January 13, 2010, as Korean-American Day.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)On January 13, 1903, the history of Korean immigration to
America began as 102 courageous Korean men, women, and
children ventured across the Pacific Ocean aboard the S.S.
Gaelic to land in Hawaii.
2)While the first Korean immigrants fought and sacrificed to
establish themselves in the United States, their children grew
up to be patriotic American citizens, served in the Armed
Forces of the United States during World War II, and made
other important contributions to mainstream America.
3)As the Korean-American community prepares for a new era and
creates new history, Korean Americans must instill in the
upcoming generations an appreciation for and pride in their
own cultural heritage so that they may better contribute to
the great State of California.
