WHEREAS, Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement helped change public policy from segregation to integration, resulting in the repeal of the post-Reconstruction era state laws mandating racial segregation in the South known as the Jim Crow Laws, thereby leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and other antidiscrimination laws aimed at ending economic, legal, and social segregation in America; and

WHEREAS, Dr. King, in the last months of his life, began organizing a Poor Peoples Campaign to, among other things, assemble a multiracial army of the poor that would descend on Washingtonengaging in nonviolent civil disobedience at the Capitol, if need beuntil Congress enacted a poor peoples bill of rights; and
WHEREAS, All of the aforementioned concerns and more continue to be the quest of civil and human rights organizations in the great State of California, across America, and throughout the world; and

SUMMARY:
Designates January 19, 2015, be observed as the official memorial of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth; commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement in changing public policy in California and in the United States of America. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement helped change public policy from legal and socially acceptable discrimination and segregation to an open and accessible policy of racial integration leading to equal participation and access to education, employment, transportation, elections, and other aspects of public policy relating to human rights. These public policy changes influenced many changes in California public policy.
Monday, January 19, 2015, marks the 29th National Celebration of the National Holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his fight for civil and human rights.
On April 10, 1970, California became the first state to pass legislation making Dr. King's birthday a school holiday and, subsequently, a statewide holiday.
Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement serve as a model for principled leadership and forward-thinking, bipartisan public policy.
