SUMMARY : Proclaims May 3 through May 9, 2009, as Cinco de Mayo
Week 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 courage of the Mexican people, who defeated
a better trained and better equipped army at the "Batalla de
Puebla."
2)Achievements by Latinos in America and California include
contributions to all facets of our community.
3)Cinco de Mayo offers an opportunity to reflect on the courage
and achievements not only of the Mexican forces at Puebla, but
also on the courage and achievements of Latinos here in
California.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
