Spare Parts and Injustice

Komagata Maru ship: The Komagata Maru ship itself was sold off for spare parts decades ago and no physical marker of it remains, according to Huffington Post Canada. Yet, what does remain is the injustice. The people who raised thousands of dollars to pay for the passengers' legal fees and the people who gathered at meetings in 1914 to support Asian exclusion have also passed away. What lives on is the knowledge that Canada passed laws that were racist and sought to legitimize discrimination under the guise of legal process and parliamentary procedure. Even if a single person from that time does not exist, that doesn't change the fact that so many of us are directly affected by this historic injustice. We did something wrong -- and it was state sanctioned. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
