Scope and content
Redress was won through extensive effort from the Japanese Community and it’s supporters across the country. Though the Greater Toronto chapter of the NAJC played a pivotal role in Redress, it was a national accomplishment. The Redress Settlement was signed August 26, 1988 with NAJC President Art Miki and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, with representatives on either side present. Much led up to this moment though, including various fundraising events, informational meetings, and protests.
Included are textual records and photographs of the various events and activities taken by the NAJC which were in efforts for Redress.
