Head Tax Redress Campaign

The Chinese Canadian National Council is hard at work on the Head Tax Redress Campaign, to seek redress and apology for the head tax levied on Chinese immigrants in Canada between 1885-1923 and the immigration ban between 1923-1947. Of particular note is the video Head Tax Blues, produced by youth in conjunction with the brand new Chinese Canadian Culture Online Project.
