This exhibit tells the story of human rights and the enduring perseverance of the Japanese Canadian community who were subject to unjust treatment from 1942-1949. The emotional 10 year struggle to achieve acknowledgements and apology are explored using historic photos, artifacts, poetry, personal statements and art. Artifacts, images and other content about the Japanese Canadian community in Nanaimo will augment the exhibit. This is a travelling exhibit from the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
