This resolution advocates for the designation of January 30, 2025, as "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution." It highlights Fred Korematsu's resistance to Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced imprisonment of 120,000 people of Japanese descent, and his subsequent conviction by the Supreme Court in 1944. Korematsu's case serves as a critical reminder of the fragility of individual civil liberties during periods of national security threats. His conviction was later overturned in 1983, following findings by the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians that the internment was driven by "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership." Fred Korematsu continued his advocacy, warning against similar infringements on civil liberties after September 11, 2001. Several states have already established January 30 as Fred Korematsu Day to honor his lifelong commitment to justice. The House of Representatives supports this designation to recognize Korematsu's bravery and resilience in challenging injustice. It encourages all people to reflect on the vital importance of political leadership, vigilance, and the enduring values of justice and civil rights, especially during times of uncertainty and emergency, to prevent similar historical mistakes.
