For 22 years, the Chinese Canadian National Council spearheaded a national movement seeking redress for those who paid the Chinese Head Tax. An apology was a minimum. Compensation for payers who were still alive or for the surviving spouses was a must. The campaign reflects the community’s strength, persistence, and indomitable spirit — strong shoulders for today’s generation as it stands up to anti-Asian racism.
The event is presented by: The Institute for Social Research (ISR) and the York Centre for Asian Research (YCAR) at York University; The Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice (CCNS-SJ); The Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO).
