          ANALYSIS:  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

                                                                     Page  2



            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. 

          This resolution proclaims January 13, 2015, as Korean-American  
          Day.
