Шаблон:Infobox Museum The Center for Social Justice and Civil Liberties is a museum, archive and educational center in Riverside, California, operated by the Riverside Community College District, with a focus on social issues, civil rights, and Inland Empire history.[1]
History
The museum is located in a 1926 building in downtown Riverside, which formerly housed Citrus Belt Savings and Loan. The building was designed by architect Stiles O. Clements in a California Churrigueresque revival style. Riverside Community College District purchased the site in 2005[2] and initially planned to demolish the building, but upon becoming aware of its architectural significance and condition, the district undertook a $5.5 million restoration project in collaboration with the City of Riverside. The museum opened in June 2012.[1][3][4]
Collections
The museum holds a large collection of art and papers of Japanese American artist Miné Okubo, who was raised in Riverside and attended Riverside City College from 1930-1933.[4][5]
