Richard S. Gordon, Chair
ACR 112 (Mullin) - As Introduced: February 25, 2014
SUBJECT : Irish American Heritage Month.
SUMMARY : Designates March 2014, as Irish American Heritage
Month in honor of all the contributions that Irish Americans
have made to better the country and state for all people, and
calls upon the people of the state to observe Irish American
Heritage Month with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and
activities, especially on March 17. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)Over the last several centuries, millions of Irish people
faced severe hardship in their nation and immigrated to the
United States in search of a more promising future for
themselves and their families.
2)Irish Americans initially suffered prejudice and
discrimination upon arriving in the United States; and, as the
years went on, Irish Americans became very involved in the
community and made important contributions in all aspects of
American society and culture, especially in California.
3)Today, over 34 million Americans claim Irish heritage, and
they continue to contribute to American and California
politics, economy, and culture.
