LIVED IN SAN DIEGO. MY ENTIRE
LIFE. MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT I
LIKE MANY ON THE FLOOR TODAY IN
THE FIRST ONE IN MY FAMILY TO
ATTEND COLLEGE, UH, HAVE A
UNIVERSITY EDUCATION AND SO I AM
PROUD BECAUSE OF THAT REASON
ALONE, BUT CERTAINLY TODAY.
PROUD AS A FAN. UH OF ATHLETICS

ENTIRE LIFE. AND HAVE BEEN QUITE
DISAPPOINTED LOT BY OUR SPORTS

HONEST. AH, SO ANYTIME THAT WE
HAVE A TEAM THAT IS OUR TEAM.
GET TO HIS FAR AS OUR MEN'S

REMEMBER SURVIVE. REMEMBER
SEVERAL MOMENTS. OVER THE
HISTORY OF SENDING THOSE SPORTS
UM, SOME NOT SO GOOD, BUT SOME
GOOD ONES. JUST LAST YEAR
ACTUALLY ATTENDED IN PERSON, UH,
THE SANTIAGO PADRES, AND THEY
ELIMINATED THE LOS ANGELES
DODGERS. THAT WAS A GREAT DAY IN
SAN DIEGO, HIS SPORTS HISTORY.
WHEN TONY WAYNE HIT THE 3000 HIT
. I REMEMBER WATCHING THAT GAME
USED TO WATCH ALL THE GAMES WITH
MY FATHER, UH, MANY AMAZING
MOMENTS IN SAN DIEGO STATE AND
SANYO HISTORY, SPORTS HISTORY,
BUT I DON'T THINK RECENTLY WE'VE
HAD A MOMENT LIKE THE SEMIFINAL
GAME WHERE I AND SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES THAT ARE GOING TO
SPEAK. MR WARD'S GONNA SPEAK. WE
WERE TOGETHER ON A DELEGATION
VISIT TO VISIT SANTIAGO STATE
UNIVERSITIES PROGRAMS IN OAXACA
, MEXICO, AND THAT WAS A
PREVIOUSLY PLANNED, UH, EVENT.
AND UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE THERE
AND WE COULDN'T BE AT THE SEMI
FINAL. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
ORGANIZE A WATCH PARTY AND IT
WAS THE MOST AMAZING IF ANYBODY
HAD A WATCH PARTY DURING THAT
SEMIFINAL GAME, IT WAS AN
AMAZING THING TO EXPERIENCE. UM,
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE.
OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THE ATHLETES
WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR
GIVING SAN DIEGO SUCH A MOMENT
OF PRIDE. MOMENT OF JOY THAT
LASTS FOR A LONG TIME. THEN I
WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE
FINAL. AH, AND YOU STILL MADE US
PROUD. UH, SO I KNOW. THAT COACH
DUTCHER? IF HE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SOMETHING
WOULD BE TO ACKNOWLEDGE COACH
FISHER. UM WHEN I ARRIVED IN
SENEGAL STATE IN 1998 AND COACH
FISHER ARRIVED THERE THE YEAR
AFTER THAT. THE STORY. YOU READ
ABOUT THAT COACH FISHER USED TO
WALK AROUND CAMPUS TO HAND OUT
TICKETS. SO THAT PEOPLE WOULD
COME AND WATCH THE GAME BECAUSE
NOBODY WOULD GO TO BASKETBALL
GAMES IS AN ABSOLUTELY TRUE
STORY. I WAS ONE OF THOSE
RECIPIENTS OF THOSE THREE
TICKETS. TO WHERE WE ARE NOW
WHERE EVERYBODY WANTS THAT
TICKET. IT IS THE HOTTEST TICKET
IN TOWN. YOU HAVE ALL MADE IT
VERY, VERY PROUD AS AN AZTEC AS

SPORTS FAN, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE

SHOT IN THE FINAL FOUR GAME BUT
TO HAVE SOMETHING TO CHEER FOR.
IN A CITY THAT HAS OFTEN STARVED

GRATEFUL TO WHAT YOU ALL HAVE
GIVEN US AND EVEN MORE
IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU TALK TO THE

REALIZE THAT BESIDES BEING GREAT
ATHLETES, THEY'RE WELL SPOKEN.
THEY'RE INTELLIGENT. THEY'RE
GOING TO BE ASSETS AND, YOU
KNOW, WE HOPE OF COURSE, THEY
HAVE A VERY LONG BASKETBALL
CAREER. BUT AT THE END OF ALL
THAT, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT IS
WHAT THEY'LL END UP DOING AFTER

FORTUNATE TO BE REPRESENTED BY
SUCH A GREAT GROUP OF YOUNG MEN
ALSO WANT TO THANK THE
ADMINISTRATION, THE COACHING
STAFF THE DONORS WHO DONE SO

MY COLLEAGUE FROM PASADENA AND A
, UH, FORMER AZTEC BASKETBALL
PLAYER FOR BRINGING THIS
RESOLUTION TO THE FLOOR? UM
PRIOR TO REDISTRICTING STS. YOU
WAS ACTUALLY IN MY DISTRICT AND
PRIOR TO ME. IT WAS REPRESENTED
BY MY MOTHER FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.
BUT EVEN BEFORE THAT, SO I AM
NOT AN OFFICIAL AZTEC BUT I SAY
I AM A ADOPTED AZTEC BECAUSE
MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE
FACT THAT MY MOTHER WAS A
PROFESSOR AT SANTIAGO STATE FOR
40 YEARS. SHE WAS ONE OF THE
FOUNDERS OF THE BLACK STUDIES
DEPARTMENT. AND SO I ACTUALLY
WAS RAISED ON THAT CAMPUS
BECAUSE I HAD TO BE THERE ALMOST
EVERY DAY AFTER PRESCHOOL OR
SCHOOL. UM AND SO IT IS AMAZING
TO SEE WHAT THE CAMPUS HAS
BECOME AND WHAT THESE YOUNG MEN
DID NOT ONLY FOR SAN DIEGO BUT
FOR ALL OF CALIFORNIA, AND WHEN
YOU SPEAK TO THEM. I WAS
ACTUALLY VERY SHOCKED TO FIND
OUT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE
TEAM ARE ACTUALLY FROM
CALIFORNIA, DIFFERENT PARTS OF
CALIFORNIA, SOME OF THE LARGER
CITIES AND SOME OF THE SMALLER
CITIES. AND SO WHEN THEY WERE
OUT THERE REPRESENTING SAN DIEGO
STATE, THEY WERE ACTUALLY
REPRESENTING THE BEST OF
CALIFORNIA. SO THANK YOU SO VERY
MUCH. THESE ARE VERY THESE ARE
YOUNG MEN WITH A BRIGHT, BRIGHT
FUTURE AHEAD OF THEM. AS YOU
STATED VERY ACADEMICALLY SOUND
AS WELL AS ATHLETICALLY. SO
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU WILL
CONTINUE TO DO BECAUSE I KNOW
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING FOR
YOU ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
DR WEBBER SINGING AND HERE. I
KNOW OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HOLDEN. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. THIS IS REALLY A
PROUD DAY FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS,
AND CERTAINLY FOR ALL OF US WHO
ARE IN THIS MOMENT, AND WE HAVE
A CHANCE TO WITNESS THE YOUNG
MEN WHO I CAN IDENTIFY WITH. I
KNOW WHAT A PRESEASON BEFORE YOU
GET INTO YOUR CLASSES. YOU'RE
OUT THERE AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING RUNNING. AND THEN YOU
HAVE YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE. YOU
HAVE LUNCH. THEN YOU'RE BACK OUT
WORKING TO A DAY'S ÛGHTS
TRACKS. IT TOOK A LONG TIME
BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GOT BACK INTO
THE COURT AND ACTUALLY PLAYED
BASKETBALL. SO I UNDERSTAND THE
JOURNEY. THAT THEY'VE BEEN ON AS
STUDENT ATHLETES, AND I THINK

FROM WHAT I CAN TAKE AWAY FROM
OUR EARLIER ENCOUNTER THIS

EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. TO BE HERE
AT THE CAPITOL. TO SEE ALL OF
YOU HERE IN THIS AUGUST. PLACE

A DIFFERENCE FOR ALL

AND WITH MISS KOREA, WE'RE GOING
TO MOVE FORWARD TO FILE ITEM
NUMBER. 10 THIS IS A CR 84 THE
CRITICAL READING. JUST LET ME
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 84 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WENDY CARILLO
AND OTHERS RELATIVE TO THE 80TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ZOOT SUIT
RIOTS, KOREA YOU MAY OPEN ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY I AM
PROUD TO PRESENT A CR 84 AS WE
COMMEMORATE THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE SUIT SUIT RIOTS IN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY. THE
SUIT SUIT. RIOTS WERE A SERIES
OF RACIALLY MOTIVATED ATTACKS ON
MEXICAN AMERICAN LATINOS.
AFRICAN AMERICAN SUIT SUIT WEARS
IN MY DISTRICT AND ACROSS THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES BY AMERICAN
SERVICE MEMBERS AND SOME LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS DURING
WORLD WAR TWO. THE RIOTS.
ULTIMATELY THE RESULT OF RISING
PREJUDICES, BIASES AND HATE
AGAINST MEXICAN AMERICAN AND THE
LATINO COMMUNITY. THE EVENT IS
ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING AND
DISTURBING EXAMPLES OF THE
ADVERSITY OUR COMMUNITY HAS
FACED IN CALIFORNIA WITHIN OUR
CENTURIES LONG PRESENCE, AND
IT'S EMBLEMATIC OF INSTANCES IN
WHICH THE EXPRESSION OF MEXICAN
CULTURE HAS BEEN MET WITH
VIOLENT HOSTILITY. SUITS SUITS A
COMMON OUTFIT STYLE DURING THE
19 FORTIES USUALLY CONSISTED OF
A BAGGY SUIT COMPOSED OF BROAD
SHOULDERS DRAPED JACKET ALONG
CHAIN AND BALLOON LEG TROUSERS.
THEY WERE A WIDESPREAD FASHION
TREND AMONG MEXICAN AMERICAN,
AFRICAN AMERICAN, ASIAN,
AMERICAN AND ITALIAN AMERICAN
YOUNG PEOPLE. THE LOOK BECAME
ICONIC AMONG MEXICAN AMERICANS
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND
THESE INDIVIDUALS REFER
THEMSELVES AS PACHECO'S, A NAME
LINKED TO MEXICAN AMERICANS.
GENERATIONS REBELLION AGAINST
BOTH THE MEXICAN AND AMERICAN
CULTURES. WHILE THE OUTFITS WERE
BELOVED AND FAMILIAR, AND EAST
SIDE COMMUNITIES LIKE MY OWN,
THEY WERE NOT ALWAYS WELL
REGARDED BY MAINSTREAM AMERICAN
SOCIETY. AMID RISING RACIAL
TENSIONS DURING WORLD WAR TWO. A
WAVE OF PREJUDICES SWEPT THREE
THE AMERICAN NEWS MEDIA AND
DEMONIZING SUIT SUITORS AS
DANGEROUS GANG MEMBERS CAPABLE
OF THE MOST HEINOUS CRIMES.
SADLY, MEMBERS THIS IS A HISTORY
THAT REPEATS ITSELF IN RHETORIC.
THE RELENTLESS AND PERSISTENT
NEGATIVE PORTRAYAL OF MEXICAN
AMERICAN YOUNG PEOPLE,
PARTICULARLY THOSE WEARING SUITS
, SUITS AS INHERENTLY PRONE TO
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR FUELED AN
ATMOSPHERE CHARGE WITH RACIAL
BIAS. IT IS WITHIN THIS VOLATILE
BACKGROUND THAT THE CLASH
BETWEEN PREDOMINANTLY WHITE
AMERICAN SERVICEMEN STATIONED IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
PACHECO'S UNFOLDED. WELL BEGAN
AS A SERIES OF MINOR ALTERCATION
SOON ERUPTED INTO A FULL BLOWN
ERUPTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST
PACHECO'S AND PACHUCA'S ALL OVER
LOS ANGELES. BETWEEN JUNE AND
AUGUST OF 1943. THE RIOTS
UNLEASHED MASS VIOLENCE IN MY
DISTRICT AND ACROSS THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES. THESE ATTACKS
INVOLVED BRUTAL BEATINGS, STRIP
SEARCHING AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
SUITS SUITS THEMSELVES AS
INDIVIDUALS TOOK IT UPON
THEMSELVES TO UNDRESS AND STRIP
MEN FROM THEIR SUITS. BUT YUKOS
WERE HUNTED IN THE STREETS DRAGS
FROM THEIR HOMES AND CARS SOUGHT
OUT IN PUBLIC PARKS, MOVIE
THEATERS AND MARKETS AND
BRUTALLY BEATEN. BY AMERICAN
SERVICEMEN. UNFORTUNATELY LAW
ENFORCEMENTS AND ADEQUATE
INTERVENTION AND, IN SOME CASES
THEIR VERY OWN PARTICIPATION IN
THE VIOLENCE ONLY DEEPENED THE
WOUNDS. THE EVENTS ALSO SAW THE
MASS ARRESTS OF MORE THAN 500.
MEXICAN AMERICAN YOUNG MEN WHO
WERE ACCUSED OF INSTIGATING THE
RIOTS. WELL VERY FEW AMERICAN
SERVICEMEN WERE ARRESTED.
FUELING INTENSE CRITICISM OF THE
L A. P D S RESPONSE TO THE RIOTS
AT THE TIME. THE RIOTS SPARKED
DISCUSSIONS ON CIVIL RIGHTS AND
THE TREATMENT OF MINORITY GROUPS
CONTRIBUTING TO THE BROADER
CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT GAINED
MOMENTUM IN THE FOLLOWING
DECADES. HERMAN VALDEZ, KNOWN AS
TINTON IS AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR
DURING MEXICANS. MEXICO'S GOLDEN
AGE OF CINEMA MADE THE PACHECO
STYLE POPULAR AND LATER AUTHOR
LUIS VALDEZ AUTHOR. THE PLACE
SUIT SUIT. WITH MUSIC WRITTEN BY
DANIEL VALDEZ AND GUERRERO,
WHICH IS BASED ON THE SLEEPY
LAGOON MURDER TRIAL IN EAST LOS
ANGELES MEMBERS. WE CANNOT TALK
ABOUT SUIT SUIT RIOTS WITHOUT
RECOGNIZING THE SLEEPY LAGOON
CASE AND THE 17 YOUNG MEXICAN
AMERICAN MEN FROM EAST LOS
ANGELES WHO WERE ORDERED BY A
JUDGE TO CONTINUE TO WEAR THEIR
SUIT SUIT DURING THE TRIAL TO
CONTINUE THE BIAS PROFILING AS
SUIT SUITORS AS CRIMINALS. 30
SECONDS PLAY, WHICH BROUGHT THIS
HISTORY TO LIGHT BECAME THE
FIRST CHICANO PLAY ON BROADWAY
IN 1979, AND WAS LATER TURNED
INTO A MOVIE STARRING EDWARD
JAMES OLMOS. TODAY THE SUIT
SUITS SYMBOLIZES MEXICAN,
AMERICAN, CHICANO AND PACHECO
IDENTITY AND DEFIANCE AGAINST
RACISM AND THIS HISTORICAL
INJUSTICE. REFLECTING ON
CALIFORNIA'S GREATEST AH,
HISTORY REQUIRES ALL OF US TO
ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PAST AS A LATINO
CAUCUS CELEBRATES OUR 50 YEARS
AS A CAUCUS IN THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE. THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT
HAPPENED IN OUR COMMUNITY DURING
THE SUIT SUIT RIOTS 80 YEARS
AGO. TIME HAS EXPIRED. THANK YOU
, MR SPEAKER IN HONOR OF
RECOGNIZING OUR HISTORY AND THE
HISTORY OF PACHECO'S, I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE FIRST
ROLE BE OPEN TO CO AUTHORS.
THANK YOU, MISS WILSON. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
GET AFTERNOON, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. OF THIS GREAT ASSEMBLY
AS HER OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS. I RISE
TODAY TO SHOW OUR SOLIDARITY AND
ALLIANCE WITH OUR MEXICAN
AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS
AND CALIFORNIA. AFRICAN AMERICAN
AND MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND
COMMUNITIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
CLOSE IN PROXIMITY. AND SIMILAR
IN TRADITIONS AND EXPRESSIONS
AND FOOD CLOTHING. FAMILY
GATHERINGS. MUSIC ETCETERA, IN
ADDITION TO OUR YOUNG MEXICAN
AMERICAN BROTHERS TARGETED MANY
AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WERE
TARGETED. AND THEY START ACT OF
CLEAR AND VILE RACISM MARK
LARGELY BY THE CLOTHING ATTIRE,
WHICH HAPPENED TO BE THE
PREVALENT ATTIRE OF THE DATE
AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. RECALLING THIS 1943
HORRIFIC STATE OF AFFAIRS
CLEARLY THERE IS STILL MORE WORK
TO BE DONE BECAUSE THE RACISM
AND RACIAL PROFILING BACK THEN,
AND SOME WAYS STILL OCCURS.
TODAY WE STILL HAVE MANY YOUNG
AFRICAN AMERICAN AND MEXICAN
AMERICANS BEING SINGLED OUT FOR
WHAT TURNS OUT TO BE ROUTINE
ACTIVITIES. LIKE THE CLOTHES
THEY WEAR. LIKE WALKING. DRIVING
IN AND AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND COMMUNITIES. AS YOU'VE HEARD
ACROSS THE NATION, SOME PEOPLE
JUST GOING FOR A JOB. SO TODAY
WE NEED TO LIFT UP. AND
CELEBRATE AND PRESERVE THE
CULTURES OF OUR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS AND ILLUSTRATE THE NEED
TO CONTINUE ADVOCATING FOR
RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR
BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES. THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS STANDS WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LATINO CAUCUS, AND WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
AND JOIN ON OUR CO AUTHORS ON A
CR 84. THANK YOU, SOMEONE.
WILSON AS A MEMBER THREE OF US.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LATINO LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS AND SUPPORT OF A CR 84.
TODAY WE COMMEMORATE THE 80TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE LOS ANGELES
ZOOT SUIT RIOTS DARK MOMENT IN
OUR STATE'S HISTORY. THE ZOOT
SUIT WAS WORN IN THE 19
TWENTIES, THIRTIES AND FORTIES
BY BLACK, FILIPINO AND MEXICAN
AMERICANS, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.
THIS FASHION STATEMENT PROMPTED
A VIOLENT RACIAL ATTACK ON
RACIAL, GENDER AND CULTURAL
IDENTITIES IN LOS ANGELES.
MEXICAN AMERICANS WERE
OVERWHELMINGLY THE VICTIMS IN
THE ZOOT SUIT RIOTS, A MISGUIDED
PERSECUTION AGAINST OUR LATINO
COMMUNITIES IN JUNE OF 1943 80
YEARS AGO. WHY U. S SERVICEMEN
ARMED WITH ALTERNATIVE WEAPONS
SOUGHT MEXICAN AMERICAN
NEIGHBORHOODS IN SEARCH OF ZOOT
SUITORS? DRAGGING KIDS SOME AS
YOUNG AS 12 YEARS OLD, OUT OF
MOVIE THEATERS AND DINERS, BARS
AND CAFES, TEARING THE CLOTHES
OFF THE YOUNG MEN'S BODIES. THEY
VICIOUSLY BEAT THEM ON THE
STREETS OF DOWNTOWN L, A AND
EAST LOS ANGELES RACIAL TENSIONS
IN LOS ANGELES WHERE ALREADY
HIGH DUE TO THE SLEEPY LAGOON
MURDER TRIAL WERE RACIST
STEREOTYPES OF LATINO YOUTH WERE
INTRODUCED AS EVIDENCE. TO THIS
DAY THERE IS JUSTIFIED ANGER BY
ARE EXPLOITED COMMUNITIES WHO
ENCOUNTERED THIS PERSECUTION. IN
FACT, THESE EVENTS WERE KEY
MOMENTS IN THE POLITICAL
AWAKENING OF MEXICAN AMERICANS
AND PACHECO'S AND CHICANO
IDENTITY, RESISTANCE AND STYLE.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALSO DO
NOT ERASE THE STORY OF THE
PACHUCA'S AND OTHER MEXICAN
AMERICAN WOMEN WHO WERE NOT
ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE CHICANO
MOVEMENT, THEIR NARRATIVES
DEFIED TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES
. THIS ATTIRE WAS A SOURCE OF
COMMUNITY PRIDE FOR NOT ONLY
MEN, BUT ALSO WOMEN. BUT CHUCKAS
WERE DEPICT DEPICTED NEGATIVELY
IN NEWS COVERAGE OF THE RIOTS
DUE TO THE PERCEIVED THREAT TO
TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES AND
FEMININITY DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
THEREFORE COLLEAGUES LET US NOT
JUST REMEMBER, BUT ALSO FIGHT
AGAINST RACIAL AND ETHNIC
DISCRIMINATION AND ANY FORM. MAY
WE CONTINUE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND
RESPECT THE COMPLEXITIES OF
GENDERED CULTURAL RESISTANCE
AGAINST OPPRESSION AND REDEFINE
, BUT YOU GO SOME PACHUCA'S AND
THE ZOOT SUIT. THANK YOU AND I
JOIN OUR COLLEAGUES FROM LOS
ANGELES AND RESPECTFULLY ASKING
FOR AN I VOTE ON A C R 84. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MISS REVIS AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN QUIRK-SILVA.

STORY OF THE CITY I REPRESENT

OWNED BUSINESS BY THE AUSTRALIA
FAMILY PERMISSION TO READ
WITHOUT OBJECTION, OPENING ITS
DOORS FOR BUSINESS IN 1978 L.
PACHECO ZOOT SUITS LOCATED IN
HARBOR BOULEVARD, FULLERTON HAS
BEEN A FAMILY BUSINESS. PHYLLIS
AUSTRALIA WHO WAS BORN AND
RAISED IN MARRIED IN FULLERTON,
REMEMBER STARTING THE STORE OVER
45 YEARS AGO AFTER SEEING THE
PRODUCTION OF LOUIS VALDEZ PLAY
ZOOT SUIT. SHE WANTED TO
RECREATE THE ATMOSPHERE. SHE
LOVED WHAT SHE SAW, BUT SHE KNEW
THAT THERE WAS A NEGATIVE
CONNOTATION OF THE ZOOT SUIT.
SHE WANTED TO BRING DIGNITY TO
THE SUIT AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORE
OUT SOME OF YOU WHO KNOW OR HAVE
SEEN THE ZOOT SUIT WILL KNOW
THAT IT IS AN INTRICATE FABRIC
AND THE WAY THAT THE PANTS DRAPE
WITH PLEATS WILL TELL YOU THAT
MY HUSBAND HEY, SUE SILVA LOVES
THE PLEATED PANTS, THEIR HIGH
WAISTED AND IT WAS SEEN AS A
VERY ATTRACTIVE TO THE BODY. BUT
IT IS QUITE INTERESTING BUSINESS
. IT'S DECOR IS PURPLE. WITH
BLACK WITH THE ZOOT SUIT, AND
IT'S BEEN LOCATED ON THE CORNER
OF HARBOR IN FULLERTON FOR OVER
40 YEARS WITH THAT, I ASKED FOR

WANT TO TELL THE STORY OF JESUS
MUNOZ. WORLD WAR TWO VETERAN
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. I
RECOGNIZE HIM AS MY VETERAN OF
THE YEAR MANY YEARS AGO. AND
DURING THOSE CONVERSATIONS, OF
COURSE, WE ASKED DETAILS ABOUT
HIS SERVICE AND WHAT HE HAD DONE
. WE KNEW HIM AS THAT SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN WHO HAD OPENED THE
DOORS FOR SO MANY OTHER
BUSINESSMEN. COMING AFTER HIM.
BUT WHEN WOULD HE SHARED THE
STORY OF COMING OUT ON LEAVE
WHILE HE WAS SERVING DURING
WORLD WAR TWO. HE TALKED ABOUT
THE FACT THAT HE HAD GONE INTO
THE ALL GONE HOME. THEY GOT
DRESSED UP. IN THEIR ZOOT SUIT.
THEY WERE READY TO GO OUT AND TO
CELEBRATE THAT THEY WERE ON
LEAVE. THEY WENT TO A BAR. AND
THEY WERE ATTACKED. HE WAS
STRIPPED OF ALL OF HIS CLOTHING.
STRIPPED OF ALL OF HIS CLOTHING
AND BEAT TO A BULB. HE REMEMBERS
THAT MORE SO THAN HE REMEMBERS
THE TIME THAT HE SERVED. HE HAS
SINCE PASSED AWAY, BUT I
REMEMBER THAT AND I THINK WHAT A
HORROR THAT WE ALLOWED THIS TO
HAPPEN, BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT
YOU'RE BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE
I THINK THAT THE BEST THING WHEN
WE REVIEW HISTORY, WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER THAT WE MUST VOW NEVER
TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SO
AGAIN. THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE

PRESIDENT OF THE SACRAMENTO
LOWRIDER COMMISSION, ARTHUR AND
BETTY LEHMAN, WHO TRAVELED FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,

ALLIANCE AND THE 50TH CHICANO
MORATORIUM COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS

CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY.
RIGHT NEXT BY MS WILSON. WE'RE
GOING TO TAKE OUT FILE ITEM. 19
THIS IS SP 3. 29 CLERK WILL
READ. SENATE BILL 3 29 BY
SENATOR DODD AND OTHERS.
NAPOLITANO LOCAL GOVERNMENT WILL
OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE TODAY TO
PRESENT SB 3 TO 9. THIS BILL
WILL RAISE THE COMPENSATION
LIMITS FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
AND GENERAL LAW CITIES FOR THE
FIRST TIME SINCE 1980 FOR THIS
BILL ALIGNS THE NEW LIMITS WITH
THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRICE
INDEX TO REFLECT THE ECONOMIC
REALITY OF TODAY. LOCAL CONTROL
IS STRONGLY PRESERVED. IN THIS
LEGISLATION, A PAY INCREASE
WOULD HAVE TO BE VOTED ON BY A
CITY COUNCIL TO SEPARATE
MEETINGS. IT WOULD ONLY TAKE
EFFECT AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION,
VOTERS WILL STILL HAVE THE
ABILITY VIA A BALLOT MEASURE TO
SET COMPENSATION AT ANY LEVEL.
THE LEGISLATURE HAS NOT RAISED
THE BASE PAY AMOUNT FOR CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS IN 39 YEARS IN
MY DISTRICT, AND IN MUCH OF OUR
STATE, WE'VE ALL SEEN THE COST
OF LIVING INCREASE DRAMATICALLY
SINCE THEN. CITY COUNCIL SHOULD
BE REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITIES
THEY REPRESENT. AND I BELIEVE
RAISING THEIR COMPENSATION IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP TO ACHIEVING THAT
EQUITABLE OUTCOME AND ENSURING
DIVERSE VOICES FROM VARYING
SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS.
CANCER THERE'S NO OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. THIS BILL RECEIVED
UNANIMOUS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND
COMMITTEE AND I HOPE TO SEE THAT
CONTINUE ON THE FLOOR TODAY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALWAYS EVEN HIS FINAL ACT WAS
ONE THAT EMBODY THESE VALUES.

ANGEL, 11, YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND
A SIX YEAR OLD SON. I'M SO PROUD
OF THOSE IN MY COMMUNITY WHO
HAVE FLOODED CASEY'S FAMILY WITH

TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING OF LOVE,

DESIRE TO CREATE POSITIVE
CHANGE. IN 1999. HE FOUNDED THE
GUIDANCE CHARTER SCHOOL, AN
INSTITUTION THAT QUICKLY GAINED
RECOGNITION AS ONE OF PALMDALE'S

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS EVIDENT
THROUGH HIS ROLE AS THE

ESTEEMED CAPTAINS. HE FOCUSED ON
PROMOTING COMPLIANCE WITH
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STANDARDS

HIS TWO SONS TEAMS WITH A HUESO
