Admin History/Bio

In 1950, Canadian Jewish Congress through the Joint Public Relations Committee, was heavily involved in promoting and influencing public opinion in favour of an anti-discrimination law in employment. While this heading is a misnomer, Canadian Jewish Congress did its utmost to popularize the concept of civil rights, at that time not a widely accepted one.
