> “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
> – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
>  
> Join Inlandia Institute and the Harada House Foundation as we host a conversational discussion about civil liberties and racial justice in the present moment, framed within the context of the Harada House as a symbol of dignity, perseverance, and social justice. Free and open to the public but RSVP required: tinyurl.com/HaradaDiscussion 
>  
> In Riverside (1916), Jukichi Harada was criminally prosecuted in a racially motivated attempt to deny the Harada family their own home. What today would parallel this lawsuit and its effort to deprive people in the U.S. of their rights based on race?
>  
> What is democracy? How does it work? Is the concept fixed or fluid? Are we getting better at it? What must happen next?
>  
> Against the backdrop of civil rights victories in Riverside—notably the Harada family’s judicial triumph in 1918—a group of leaders will discuss peaceful paths to effect positive change, share indicators that the system can be improved, and highlight stories of persistence and choosing the greater good.
>
