Dymally uses strong language to implore the CSU board to stop using xenophobic excuses and heed the call of “the largest minority in California,” to rename a building at Cal State LA in honor of the Mexican Revolutionary, Emiliano Zapata. Dymally’s own experience as an immigrant to the U.S. surely factors into the fervency with which he argues that U.S. citizenship should not impact the importance of such a historical figure.

Description
An account of the resource
In this letter, Dymally defends his reputation and disputes his involvement in a private company gaining a public health plan for Medi-Cal recipients. Dymally faced harassment in the form of unsubstantiated claims of corruption and supposedly impending indictments of crimes several times throughout his career. While no charges were ever brought against him, he suspected one such incident may have cost him the reelection to Lt. Governor. His opponent Mike Curb accused him of criminal behavior in San Bernardino and Santa Clara Counties. The accusations caused a scandal, but no charges were brought. Curb later apologized to Dymally for the acquisitions, but only after the election.

Reform
Description
An account of the resource
While Governor of California, Ronald Regan’s efforts to defund the newly enacted state Medicaid Program, Medi-Cal, were largely defeated. His efforts were either blocked by the democratic speaker Jess Unruh or by the courts. Regan was able to reach a compromise with state democrats later in the year this letter was written. The California Welfare Reform Bill, passed in August of 1971, sought to reform the public benefit, and was seen at the time as a compromise on both sides.
