A bill to award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal to Fred Korematsu, in recognition of his contributions to civil rights, his loyalty and patriotism to the United States, and his dedication to justice and equality.

Bill 119 s 338, also known as the Fred Korematsu Congressional Gold Medal Act, aims to honor the late Fred Korematsu for his significant contributions to civil rights, loyalty, and patriotism to the United States, as well as his dedication to justice and equality. Fred Korematsu was a Japanese-American civil rights activist who challenged the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

The bill proposes to award Fred Korematsu a Congressional Gold Medal posthumously, recognizing his bravery and resilience in fighting against the unjust treatment of Japanese Americans during a dark period in American history. The medal would serve as a symbol of gratitude and respect for Korematsu's unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of justice and equality for all individuals, regardless of their background.

If passed, this legislation would not only honor Fred Korematsu's legacy but also serve as a reminder of the importance of standing up against discrimination and injustice. It would highlight the significance of individuals like Korematsu who have dedicated their lives to fighting for the rights and freedoms of all Americans.
