The document summarizes key events in California history from 1943-1964 based on chapters from the book "California" by Kevin Starr. It describes racial tensions between Mexican Americans and white servicemen during WWII leading to the Zoot Suit riots in 1943. It also mentions the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the internment of Japanese Americans. After WWII, it notes changes for women and African Americans in the workforce. The document then discusses California generally being a conservative Republican state and the 1964 Free Speech Movement protests at UC Berkeley against banning political activities, which helped spark anti-Vietnam War protests. It closes by noting California spends heavily on disaster relief from earthquakes, floods and fires.
