SUMMARY : Designates Monday, January 18, 2010, be observed as
the official memorial of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
birth; commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the work of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement in
changing public policy in California and in the United States of
America; and encourages and recognizes the value of community
service and volunteerism. Specifically, the resolution makes
the following legislative findings:
1)Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement helped change public
policy from legal and socially acceptable discrimination and
segregation to an open and accessible policy of racial
integration leading to equal participation and access to
education, employment, transportation, elections, and other
aspects of public policy relating to human rights; and these
public policy changes influenced many changes in California
public policy.
2)Monday, January 18, 2010, marks the 24th National Celebration
of the National Holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and
his fight for civil and human rights.
