Scope and content
Shin Imai, Maryka Omatsu, and Marcia Matsui formed the Sodan-Kai in 1983 as a non-partisan group in the hopes to bringing more community involvement to Redress. At the time, there was a friction in the Japanese Canadian community regarding the sought terms of Redress, particularly at the organizational level in Toronto. These three lawyers hoped that by creating a non-partisan space for members of the community, the community, as a whole, could come to an agreement on what Redress should look like.
Records include a flyer for one of their meetings, and newsletters.
