education Four-year state colleges and the University of California system complete the public higher-education

structure The California State University, with numerous branches-including Fresno State University; San Francisco State University; California State University, Fullerton; and California State University, Long Beach-also draws from among the top one-third of high school

V PEOPLE

California’s first settlers were mostly Midwestern farmers of European

descent California’s Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage in May 2008, though opponents vowed to battle the ruling with a constitutional amendment Latinos as a whole make up more than one-third of the state’s population, and some areas are primarily Spanish-speaking The Jewish

community makes up about 3 percent of the state’s population

By 1880 only about 15,000

California Indians remained, a

reduction of about nine-tenths of

their pre-Columbian population

In early 1942 almost all of

California’s Japanese

Americans, both Nisei and Issei,

were moved to isolated

internment camps east of the

Sierra Nevada, and they were

held under guard until 1945 Los Angeles and other California cities also have significant gay and lesbian populations that are politically and culturally

active In the early 21st century, the African American population accounted for about one-fifteenth of California’s population By the early 21st century,

California had the largest Native American population in the United States, the vast majority of which resided in urban areas
