Komagata Maru: Challenging Injustice

The Vancouver Maritime Museum is hosting an exhibit on the Komagata Maru incident from January 6 through January 8, 2014. The Komagata Maru was a ship that arrived in Vancouver from India in 1914. Of the 376 passengers onboard, only 24 were admitted to Canada. This was one of several incidents in the early 20^th century involving exclusion laws designed to keep out immigrants of Asian origin.
