Description
Bringing this little-known story to light, The House on Lemon Street details the Haradas' decision to fight for the American dream. Chronicling their experiences from their immigration to the United States through their legal battle over their home, their incarceration during World War II, and their lives after the war, this book tells the story of the family's participation in the struggle for human and civil rights, social justice, property and legal rights, and fair treatment of immigrants in the United States.
Description
Discusses the little known early-twentieth century court battle of Jukichi and Ken Harada, Japanese immigrants, to keep their home in Riverside, California, which they purchased in 1915 in the names of their three young American-born children because the California Alien Land Law prohibited immigrants from owning real estate.
