The Conservative government's unilaterally imposed redress package
ignored and rejected repeated calls from head tax families for a just
and honourable redress.
no luck club (NLC) is an instrumental hip hop group combining turntable
improv with sample-based rhythms. Founded by the Chan Brothers
(Matt & Trevor), Vancouver DMC DJ champion Paul Belen (Pluskratch)
joined the group in 2004.
Funk In Da Attic is a local recreational dance troupe with steps to put
"move" into the redress movement. They are Nicole Chubb, Gary Quon,
Cathy Jupista, Julie Miller, Ikue Ueno, Megan Hui and Hersie Init.
The BC Coalition of Head Tax Payers, Spouses and Descendants are
today's Canadians on a two decade plus quest for justice and honour for
Chinese adventurers and pioneers and their families.
