AI Summary
This resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the American Revolution on April 19, 1775. The resolution recounts the historical events of that day, including Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn colonists about approaching British troops (called "Redcoats"), the gathering of local volunteer militia known as "Minutemen," and the first military engagement on Lexington Green where eight patriot volunteers were killed. It describes how the battle continued at the Old North Bridge in Concord, with American volunteers forcing the British to retreat under constant fire. The resolution formally recognizes April 19, 2025, as Lexington and Concord Day, highlighting the significance of these battles as the start of the American struggle for independence. The California State Legislature, through this resolution, seeks to memorialize this pivotal moment in American history and directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of the resolution.
