Bill overview
This bill, the Fred Korematsu Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2025, seeks to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to Fred Korematsu for his contributions to civil rights, his loyalty to the United States, and his dedication to justice and equality. The bill recognizes Korematsu's history of challenging the government's wartime actions during the internment of Japanese Americans, specifically his resistance to the exclusion order during World War II. It acknowledges the injustices he faced and the subsequent efforts to overturn his conviction, culminating in a posthumous award and placement in the Smithsonian Institution.
