DAY OF INCLUSION LEGISLATION ADOPED BY LEGISLATURE

Authored by Assemblymember Mike Eng

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Assembly Concurrent Resolution 76, authored by Assemblymember Mike Eng (D – Monterey Park), passed off the Senate Floor last night by a vote of 40-0.  ACR 76, which is sponsored by the Yee Fow Museum, specifically designates December 17^th annually as “Day of Inclusion” in the State of California.

“Although the repeal of the “Chinese Exclusion Act” marks a significant turning point in American society, some minorities still struggle for fairness and equality,” Assemblymember Eng said. “The recognition of the “Magnuson Act” represents a timely and excellent opportunity for our nation to rededicate itself to the suppression of intolerance and discrimination against immigrants and minority groups.”
