Recognizing the importance of establishing a national "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution".

Bill 118 HRES 74, also known as the "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" bill, is a piece of legislation that aims to recognize the importance of establishing a national day to honor Fred Korematsu and his contributions to civil liberties and the Constitution. Fred Korematsu was a Japanese-American civil rights activist who challenged the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

The bill acknowledges Korematsu's bravery and dedication to fighting for the rights of all Americans, regardless of their race or ethnicity. It highlights his role in challenging the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of Japanese Americans, and his enduring legacy as a champion of civil liberties.

If passed, the bill would designate January 30th as the "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" in honor of Korematsu's birthday. This day would serve as a reminder of the importance of upholding civil liberties and protecting the rights of all individuals, especially in times of crisis. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 74 seeks to honor Fred Korematsu's legacy and promote awareness of the importance of civil liberties and the Constitution in American society. It is a bipartisan effort to recognize and celebrate the contributions of a courageous individual who stood up for justice and equality in the face of adversity.
