ACR
28 (Mullin) - As Introduced February 23, 2015
SUBJECT: Irish American Heritage Month.
SUMMARY: Designates March 2015 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. 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.
