Creator and curator of "The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act", Catherine Clement, explores the tumultuous days leading up to July 1, 1924 – a day the Chinese community would christen "Humiliation Day." Discover the ways the community tried to halt the Exclusion Act's mandated registration, and hear how different cities in Canada reacted when it was clear that all hope was lost. This material is only lightly covered in "The Paper Trail" exhibition. So here is your chance, 100 years later, to learn and remember what our community went through on July 1, 1924.
