San Diego has a long history of welcoming refugees. For years, many countries and regions have held Refugee Days and even Weeks. One of the most widespread has been Africa Refugee Day, celebrated on 20 June in several countries. In 2000, the UN General Assembly decided that, from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day.
