This resolution designates January 30, 2025, as "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution." It seeks to honor Fred Korematsu's bravery and resilience in challenging the forced imprisonment of Japanese Americans under Executive Order 9066 during World War II. Despite the Supreme Court initially ruling against him, his conviction was later overturned in 1983, revealing governmental misconduct. The resolution highlights Korematsu's continued advocacy for civil liberties, including his warnings against similar infringements following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. By establishing this day, the Senate encourages all people to reflect on the critical importance of political leadership, vigilance, justice, and civil rights, particularly during periods of national emergency and uncertainty.
