Scope and content
The Ethnocultural Rally was held October 29, 1987, and organized by the Ad Hoc Committee for Japanese Canadian Redress. The hope was that with the support of many ethnocultural groups, the recently stalled discussions of Redress could be re-visited. The Ethnocultural Rally was held at Harbord Collegiate, in Toronto. Representatives from 20 ethnocultural organizations attended and signed their support for the NAJC. This event helped strengthen the image of the NAJC as the unified voice of Japanese Canadians and their ongoing fight for Redress.
Documents include planning material for the rally and the final resolution, signed by the ethnocultural group leaders stating their support for the NAJC and the Redress movement.
