Celebrating the release of the new book, "NCRR: The Grassroots Struggle for Japanese American Redress and Reparations " the Nikkei Resisters of San Jose hosted a panel and reception on October 28, 2018 at Yu Ai Kai.  

“As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, NCRR is proud to share this book about the importance of the grassroots contributions to the passage of the act and the impact and power of activism on individuals, our community and for posterity,” said Kay Ochi, co-chair of NCRR.

NCRR (Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress) updated their name from National Coalition for Redress and Reparations after the redress campaign. Nihonmachi Outreach Committee (NOC) and many individuals in the San Jose area were active in the NCRR during the redress movement.
