SUMMARY : Proclaims May 1 through May 7, 2012, 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 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
contribution 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
