SUMMARY : Proclaims May 1 through May 7, 2013, as Cinco de Mayo
Week to honor the Latinos of California who have fought, died,
and lived to protect the freedom of the United States; and urges
all Californians to join in celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is memorialized as a
significant date in the history of California and Mexico in
recognition of the Latinos of California who offered their
support and risked their lives to defend freedom and democracy
in both the United States and Mexico.
2)Achievements by Latinos in America and California include
contributions to the state's culture and society through their
many achievements in music, food, dance, poetry, literature,
architecture, entertainment, sports and a broad spectrum of
artistic expression.
3)Cinco de Mayo offers an opportunity to reflect on the courage
and achievements not only of the Mexican forces at Puebla, but
also serves to remind us that the foundation of any nation is
its people, in their spirit and courage in the face of
adversity, in the strength of their drive to achieve
self-determination, and in their willingness to sacrifice even
life itself in the pursuit of freedom and liberty.
