DESCRIPTION:

The Freedom of Information Act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 4, 1966. It provides unprecedented public access to government documents for various purposes, including research, journalism, and law. It took 12 years for the landmark legislation to go from idea to legal statute, largely thanks to the dogged efforts of California Congressman John E. Moss.

National Sunshine Week is an awareness campaign focusing on the importance of the Freedom of Information Act and its contributions to accurate journalism. It is observed throughout the nation by media organizations, schools, universities, and libraries and coupled with a public relations campaign. The event first appeared in 2005.

Sunshine week marks the birthday of James Madison, the father of the US Constitution. Madison was born on March 16, 1751.
