Chinese American in Riverside: Historic Context Statement, 2016

Chinese American in Riverside: Historic Context Statement, 2016

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Riverside has a Save Our Chinatown Committee, a group whose mission since 2008 has been to preserve the vacant site south of downtown that once held the homes and businesses of some 300 Chinese immigrants.

Many Riversiders may be only dimly aware that their city had a Chinatown. Even fewer would know that that 1885-1974 settlement wasn't the first Chinatown.

It was the third.

Three Chinatowns, not one? I couldn't help thinking that if a certain 1974 movie had been filmed in Riverside, not L.A., someone would have told Jack Nicholson sadly: "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatowns."

Two members of Save Our Chinatown Committee filled me in on the history last week. M. Rosalind Sagara, its chair, and Kevin Akin met me at the Chinese Pavilion on Mission Inn Avenue.

Of all the luck, the pavilion is newly surrounded by chain-link fencing and inaccessible as the adjacent former library is remodeled into the Cheech Martin Center for Chicano Art.

Akin and I had met already at Olivewood Cemetery for an annual activity of the committee, a tomb sweeping ceremony to tidy the graves of some of the city's Chinese pioneers.

Chinese immigrants have a deep connection to Riverside. In fact, they were here before Riverside. The first arrived in the late 1860s, working as brick masons to construct the Cornelius Jensen house, today a landmark.

Some worked as cooks, servants and field hands for the settlers who established the city in 1871 or in orange groves and canning factories, according to a timeline by the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California.

By the mid-1880s, some 40 had leased land for farming, where they grew vegetables that supplied much of the city's fresh produce. One was a servant for Eliza Tibbets, planter of the parent navel orange tree, and by local lore his agricultural know-how saved the tree, thus launching the citrus industry.

Sagara, Akin and I walked west on Mission Inn Avenue a couple of blocks. Behind the Loring Building is an alley that once was home to Chinese boarding houses and a laundry, Akin said over noise from construction next door on the Stalder Building site.

This Chinatown, the first, is so little known, "nothing about it has appeared in a newspaper since about 1923," Akin had told me impishly a few days earlier. "You can have a first-in-a-century mention." I'll take it.

Founded circa 1878, this Chinatown was short-lived. In 1882, the small cluster of structures was razed to make way for a "citrus pavilion."

Sagara, Akin and I crossed Eighth Street and kept walking south. Midway down an alley is essentially where the second Chinatown began, bounded by Orange Street to the east and Ninth Street to the south.

None of its modest wooden structures remain either, but a low retaining wall of brick may be a physical reminder of that 1880s period, Akin said.

Hostility toward the immigrants was fanned by Riverside Press owner Luther Holt, whose newspaper was headquartered at Eighth and Orange. An 1883 fire at his print shop - which backed up to Chinatown - was put out in part by his Chinese neighbors, assistance for which he offered public thanks.

Two years later, though, Holt and other interests put the pressure on to evict the Chinese from downtown. An ordinance prohibited wooden buildings and landlords prepared to boost rent precipitously.

Six acres were found at Tequesquite and Brockton avenues, a sufficient distance from the business district to satisfy the local gentry. The village relocated there in 1885.

Akin, Sagara and I reconvened by car at the site. Immediately south of Evergreen Cemetery, the remaining 2 acres are fenced, empty but for weeds and a few palm trees. A couple of signs mark it as Chinatown. It's owned by the Riverside County Office of Education, whose office is adjacent.

This Chinatown lasted nearly a century, from 1885 until the death of George Wong, its last resident, in 1974. In 1980, the ruins were cleared as a public nuisance.

Sagara and Akin joined a preservationist fight in 2008 to block development of a medical office building on the site, which had been declared a county and city landmark. They won.

"When I learned the site was under threat because of development, I wanted to get involved to save it," said Sagara, who became so fascinated by historic preservation that she switched careers and now works for the Los Angeles Conservancy.

Some of that history is underground, the remnant of an 1893 fire. Debris that was pushed into pits and covered has artifacts of that period. Some was dug up in the 1980s and given to the Riverside Municipal Museum. The majority is still undisturbed, to the pleasure of activists, who'd prefer it remain that way.

"We'd like to see a Chinatown Memorial Park here," Sagara said, "that would serve as a way to protect the sensitive archaeological remains and allow the public to learn about the history of Chinese people in Riverside and the region."

The region? Yes. Other area cities and communities had Chinatowns, including San Bernardino, Redlands, Cucamonga, Upland and Pomona.

The park the committee envisions, which has no funding, would have an interpretive center, gardens, an area for outdoor events and a Chinatown history timeline.

Apparently we need that timeline. The Chinese presence in Riverside goes back more than 150 years, and it's a similar story in other cities. Yet the Asian American and Pacific Islander community is treated like perpetual foreigners on our shores, with incidents of hate on the rise.

Growing up in Riverside, Sagara had no idea her city had any Chinese American history.

"Places associated with our heritage have always played an important role in our community," Sagara said. "They give people today a sense of continuity and belonging and a connection to earlier generations that were here."

Remember it, Riverside. It's Chinatown.

Harada House

The Harada House on Lemon Street in Riverside, California was the focus of a landmark court case brought by the State of California against Jukichi Harada, a Japanese immigrant living in Riverside. The case tested the constitutionality of laws preventing immigrants, primarily from Japan, from owning property in California.

Around 1900, Jukichi Harada emigrated from Japan to the U.S. and in 1903, was joined by his wife, Ken, and their son, Masa Atsu. The family settled in Riverside, California, eventually having several more children and leasing and operating a rooming house and a restaurant. After his five year old son Tadao died of diphtheria while they were living in the rooming house, Harada began to look for a single-family home in a nice neighborhood near the children's school and the family's church. In 1915, he bought a house on Lemon Street five blocks from the family restaurant. The purchase of the house paved the way for the landmark court case The People of State of California vs. Jukichi Harada, Mine Harada, Sumi Harada, and Yoshizo Harada.

At the time that Harada bought the house, California's Webb-Haney Act (also known as the Alien Land Law of 1913) barred "aliens ineligible for [U.S.] citizenship" from owning property in the state. The Webb-Haney Act drew, in part, on the Naturalization Act of 1870, which had expanded naturalization (the ability to become a citizen) to people of African descent or those originally from Africa, but not to other non-white immigrants. These other immigrants, primarily from Asia, were considered ineligible for U.S. citizenship and could not become U.S. citizens. This meant that Jukichi Harada, a Japanese immigrant, could not legally own the house on Lemon Street.

Knowing that he was barred from owning property, Harada placed ownership of the house in the names of his three American-born children - Mine, Sumi, and Yoshizo - who were all U.S. citizens. He had bought a small piece of land in Mine's name a few months before and there had been no issues with the ownership, so Harada probably felt safe placing the house in his three children's names. In addition, he wanted to ensure that the children would always have a home.

After the purchase, several of Harada's neighbors in the predominantly white community formed a committee to persuade him to sell the house. Harada refused, saying that it was owned by his American-born children and that he had no legal interest in the property. The committee then approached the California Attorney General's office and asked that Harada be charged with violating the Webb-Haney Act. Although the house had been purchased in the names of Harada's three American-born children, the committee argued that the real purchaser was Jukichi Harada, who had provided the money to buy the property.

The State's first complaint was filed in Riverside Superior Court in October 1916, and the first hearings in the case were held in December 1916. The case attracted local, national, and international attention. This was due in part to the relationship between the U.S. and Japan, an emerging international power. In 1907, the two countries had entered in to a formal "Gentleman's Agreement" which said that Japan would not issue any passports to Japanese laborers trying to enter the U.S., and the U.S. would not restrict other Japanese immigration. The Agreement was a result of rising anti-Japanese laws and sentiments in California and was meant to reduce tensions between the two countries. The immigration provisions in the Agreement were formalized in a 1911 treaty between the U.S. and Japan. Because of the treaty and the fact that the U.S. had entered World War I in 1917, with Japan as one of its allies, the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C. followed the trial closely, feeling that it should not be ignored by the Japanese government.

The trial lasted for two years, with numerous hearings, continuances, and postponements. On September 14, 1918, Judge Hugh Craig of the Riverside Superior Court ruled in favor of the Harada children. Judge Craig upheld the Alien Land Law of 1913, reiterating that aliens ineligible for citizenship could not own land, but ruled that American-born children of aliens were entitled to all the constitutional guarantees of citizenship under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, including land ownership. This meant that the Harada children were the legal owners of the house on Lemon Street. In his opinion Judge Craig stated that "They [Mine, Sumi, and Yoshizo] are American citizens, of somewhat humble station, it may be, but still entitled to equal protection of the laws of our land...The political rights of American citizens are the same, no matter what their heritage."

After the conclusion of the court case, the Harada family continued to own and live in the house until May 23, 1942 when, because of their Japanese ancestry, they were evacuated and relocated to three different U.S. government relocation centers - Tule Lake (California), Poston(Arizona), and Central Utah (Topaz) (Utah). The family had six adult children at the time - Masa Atsu, Sumi, Yoshizo, Mine, Harold, Clark, and adopted son Roy Hashimura. While the family members were interned in the relocation centers Jess Stebler, a family friend, lived in the Lemon Street house, cared for the property, and managed all of the Harada's business affairs. In 1943, Harold, Sumi, and Roy successfully petitioned for a transfer to join their parents at the Central Utah Relocation Center. Ken Harada passed away in 1943, a few days after her three children were transferred, and Jukichi Harada passed away in 1944. Also during the war, Harold and Yoshizo served in the U.S. Army's 442nd Regimental Combat Team, one of the most decorated units of World War II.

After the war only Sumi, the youngest daughter, returned to the house in Riverside. She opened it to displaced Japanese American families and provided a place for the internees to rebuild their lives. Sumi continued to live in the house until 1998, when she moved to a nursing home. She owned the house until her death in 2000, at the age of 90. After Sumi's death, her brother Harold inherited the house. Following his death, his heirs transferred the Harada House in 2004, to the City of Riverside under the stewardship of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum.

The house that Jukichi Harada bought in 1915 was a single-story "saltbox" cottage with a front and back yard. Harada remodeled the house in 1916, adding a second story with four bedrooms, a bathroom, an open front porch, a small garden with vegetables and water plants, and a small concrete fishpond. In the 1940s, the dining room was modified, resulting in a lowered ceiling. Today, the Harada House looks much the same as it did when it was remodeled in 1916. Some of the interior features remain in place including the note Harold Harada wrote on a bedroom wall when the family was forced to leave the house for the relocation centers - "Evacuated on May 23, 1942 Sat. 7am." In addition, artifacts from the house and collections of papers and articles have been inventoried and preserved by the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. The Museum is in the process of preserving the house and plans to open it to the public.

The Harada House, a National Historic Landmark, is located at 3356 Lemon St. Riverside, CA. For more information on the Harada House, visit the Riverside Metropolitan Museum website

Roadtrippers: California's Asian American Heritage Trail

People started migrating to California from Asia during the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s, and today the state is home to more than 50 Asian American and Pacific Islander ethnic groups, all with their own languages, cultures, and histories. All over the U.S., historic sites preserve and document the history, contributions, and sacrifices of Asian Americans, from the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the forced removal and internment of Japanese Americans in the 1940s.

In California, the sites of labor unions, landmark civil rights cases, and significant architecture all tell powerful stories of Asian American heritage in the state and beyond.

The Star of India, built in 1863, is the second oldest active sailing ship in the world. During Alaska's salmon cannery boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the ship was used to transport supplies and workers north from California. Chinese laborers made up an integral part of Alaska's early cannery workforce, but were later replaced by Japanese and Filipino workers after the U.S. enacted a number of Chinese Exclusion laws. Several hundred men, most of them Asian laborers, lived on board the Star of India during the 3-week journey between San Francisco and Alaska. Today, the ship is a National Historic Landmark and part of the Maritime Museum in San Diego.

In 1942, more than 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry living in the U.S. were forced into 10 "relocation centers" across the country, including Manzanar in California. Two thirds of the more than 11,000 people interned here were American citizens, and many others had lived in the U.S. for decades. The Manzanar National Historic Site was established in 1992 and tells the stories of those who lived and worked at the military-style camp during its three years in operation.

After gold was discovered in California in the 1850s, a small town sprung up in the Mono Basin. More deposits of gold and silver were discovered in 1876, and three years later, the town had more than 250 buildings and 10,000 residents, including several hundred Chinese immigrants, who lived in Bodie's Chinatown. With 110 buildings still standing, the mining town was abandoned in the 1940s. It became a National Historic Landmark District in 1961 and a State Historic Park in 1962.

The Hakone Historic District is home to the oldest Japanese-style country villa in the Western Hemisphere. Located near Saratoga, California, it's an easy day trip from San Francisco. In the early 1900s, art patrons Oliver and Isabel Stine hired architect Tsunematsu Shintani and landscape architect Naoharu Aihara, both Japanese natives, to build a summer estate inspired by their travels and passion for Japanese culture. Today, Hakone is maintained by a non-profit organization, and visitors can explore the property's four Japanese gardens, historic buildings, houses, and other structures.

Mountain Movers: Student Activism & the Emergence of Asian American Studies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mountain Movers: Student Activism and the Emergence of Asian American Studies shares the history of student movements at SF State, UC Berkeley, and UCLA during the 1960s and features oral histories of prior and current student activists. These student movements emerged in the midst of the Civil Rights, Black Power, anti-war, and feminist movements of that turbulent time. Student activists at these universities envisioned an education that would reflect their histories and prepare them to address the problems they saw in their communities and in society. African American, Latinx, Native American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander students demanded a quality education that was accessible to historically marginalized students of color and relevant to problems such as segregation, poverty, and political neglect.

SF State was the epicenter of the movement for ethnic studies and affirmative action and the site of the longest student strike in American history, starting in fall of 1968 and lasting five months. The SF State strike was led by African American, Asian American, Latinx and Native American students who formed the Third World Liberation Front. A similar coalition was established at UC Berkeley, which went on strike for the entire Winter quarter of 1969, and called on the university to establish ethnic studies. This movement spread and students at UCLA and elsewhere joined in demanding the establishment of ethnic studies and greater access for students of color at their respective campuses.

During this period through the early 1970s, Asian American Studies programs or departments were founded at Merritt College in Oakland, the College of San Mateo, Santa Clara University, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, and California State University at Pomona and Long Beach. They were also established at campuses such as the University of Hawai'i, Yale University, and Hunter College of the City University of New York, among many others. The flourishing of a new interdisciplinary field of inquiry, along with new learning opportunities that linked students with Asian American and Pacific Islander and other communities of color, transformed higher education. And it formed the basis for a deeper understanding of the histories and experiences of communities of color in the US and their larger diasporas. There is much to learn from this rich history of social transformation.
