JCNM presents a unique history of Japanese Canadians to commemorate the 20th anniversary of redress. Violations of human rights were conducted against Canadians of Japanese ancestry, under the War Measures Act, between 1941 until 1949. The federal government’s acknowledgement of wrongdoing and compensation, on September 22, 1988, redressed the past. Layers of voices, drawn from government documents, newspapers, books, poetry, diaries, letters, and oral histories, together with poignant photographic images and memory-laden artifacts, speak to losses and absences, and of issues of community, identity, representation, and human rights.
