AI Summary
This resolution declares February 19, 2026, as a Day of Remembrance in California to raise public awareness about the unjust incarceration of Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II. This historical event, stemming from Executive Order 9066 (EO9066) signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942, led to the forced relocation and imprisonment of over 125,000 individuals of Japanese descent in concentration camps, causing significant hardship and disruption to their lives. The resolution acknowledges the loyalty and sacrifices of Japanese American veterans who fought bravely for the United States during the war, despite their families being interned. It also references past acknowledgments of this injustice, including President Ford's rescission of EO9066, the findings of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, and the federal Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which apologized and provided reparations. The resolution emphasizes the importance of learning from this past mistake to prevent similar assaults on freedom against any community in the future.
