Description:
Harada House, located in Riverside, CA, is a significant historic landmark recognized for its role in early civil rights battles in the United States. Acquired in 1915 by Japanese immigrant Jukichi Harada, the home became a symbol of resistance against discriminatory property laws after neighbors attempted to force the Harada family to vacate under California’s Alien Land Law, which prohibited Japanese immigrants from owning land. The Harada family's legal victory affirmed their right to live there, marking a pivotal moment in the fight against racial discrimination.
