As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

They found work in a metal foundry that made aircraft parts. At first, their plan was to save up and take their earnings back to Mexico. But after about five years here, they decided to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s when Abuela Nina had a radical idea: Why not buy property? Doing so was a decision that would change the family’s trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast-forward a few decades, and Monica’s family is successful: Her father owns a business. Her mother works for Los Angeles County. Both have profited from real estate investments. And Monica is the first in the family to earn a college degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within two generations, the Rivera family has gone from the factory floor to solid middle class.

High school graduation rates have increased significantly. And so there is real progress being made.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo added, “It absolutely contrasts with the myths and the rhetoric that is out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that said, many Latino families in California are still struggling.

It sits on a two-acre equestrian property — the couple loves horses, and they own several of them. Out back are stables and a riding arena, on grounds lush with purple jacaranda. A convertible Mercedes sits in the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the couple’s second horse property. Before this they lived in a five-bedroom home with stables in La Mirada. Helen, an administrator with the L.A. County Health Department, recounted the neighborhood gossip when they moved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People, neighbors, just assumed that we were drug lords,” she said, half-laughing. “There was a rumor that came back to us, and I was, like, what?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors have assumed other things, as well. One neighbor saw Juan working on his new home and thought he was part of the construction crew, asking him where the owner was. Juan simply took off his hat and said “Hi, I’m Juan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just an assumption that people will make against us, you know,” Helen said, “that we can’t have anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they do, and they worked for it — as did their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11759983\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11759983\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Helen Rivera showing a photo of her with her children in the 1990s.

They’d been saving and saving, he said, never so much as going out to eat.

Pooling their resources, the family bought the units. Juan, his parents and three siblings crammed into the front house, a small two-bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom and my dad slept in one bedroom, then my sisters slept in the other one, and we slept in the living room, the boys,” Juan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other units were rented out — and with that, the family began modestly building wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan, who by then was working as a welder, had pitched in some of his savings for his parents’ purchase.

She grew up Mexican American, the daughter of U.S. citizens, a short distance east of downtown Los Angeles in East L.A. Her father had a union job at a company that made garbage disposals. Things were stable until she was around seven, when her mother became disabled in a devastating car accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bills piled up. Then, her dad’s union went on strike. At one point, money got so tight that the family resorted to scrounging for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dad would wake me up early in the morning, and we’d take the bus to the big central market where they have all these trucks, and we would have shopping bags,” Helen remembers. “As a little girl, it was easier for me to go under the trucks and pick up the potatoes that fell under the truck. And then I would come back and get ready for school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In time, the family got back on its feet. Helen’s dad began earning better pay and, over time, her parents bought a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They knew being homeowners that you gain a certain level of respect being a homeowner,” Helen said. “And that was something my dad explained to me at a young age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While they absorbed these lessons from their parents, both of the Riveras struggled financially as younger adults. Both had children of their own before they met. Helen at one point worked three jobs, including waiting tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Monica Rivera']‘I believe that the American dream is to come to a place where you open up new opportunities not just for yourself, but for your family.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they took what opportunities they could. Not long after they married in the mid-1980s, the welding-repair shop where Juan worked went up for sale. With his savings and a little help from relatives, Juan bought it. At first, just paying the bills was a stretch. But as the shop began turning a profit, the couple invested it in real estate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I read all kinds of books,” Juan said, “On doing foundation, everything to build a house. I also read principles of real estate, all this stuff to do real estate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They started with some apartments. They did a little flipping. As property values rose, they held off. Then, the housing bubble burst. Juan, who obtained a real estate license in 2007, started going to property auctions. Monica was a teenager then, and she would go along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had just gotten my permit to start driving,” Monica said. “So he was basically teaching me how to drive, and we started going to auctions. And we’d literally be in the front of the line, with the bidding paddle and the auctioneer would be auctioning off the property, and he’d let me hold the paddle. And I’d get excited about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The properties they bought, sold and refinanced helped put Monica through college. She graduated from USC in 2012 with zero student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that the American dream is to come to a place where you open up new opportunities not just for yourself, but for your family,” Monica said. “Had it not been for the road that was paved by my parents, by my grandmother, by all of our family that came before, I would never have gotten the opportunity to go to college.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11759980\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1348px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11759980\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1348\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut.jpg 1348w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut-160x243.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut-800x1216.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut-1020x1550.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut-790x1200.jpg 790w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38019_RIVERA-FAMILY6-qut-1920x2918.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1348px) 100vw, 1348px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A gate cutout depicting Helen Rivera and one their horses under the shaed of a Loquat tree.

A convertible Mercedes sits in the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the couple’s second horse property. Before this they lived in a five-bedroom home with stables in La Mirada. Helen, an administrator with the L.A.

One neighbor saw Juan working on his new home and thought he was part of the construction crew, asking him where the owner was. Juan simply took off his hat and said “Hi, I’m Juan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just an assumption that people will make against us, you know,” Helen said, “that we can’t have anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they do, and they worked for it — as did their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11759983\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11759983\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Helen Rivera showing a photo of her with her children in the 1990s.

Juan, his parents and three siblings crammed into the front house, a small two-bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom and my dad slept in one bedroom, then my sisters slept in the other one, and we slept in the living room, the boys,” Juan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other units were rented out — and with that, the family began modestly building wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan, who by then was working as a welder, had pitched in some of his savings for his parents’ purchase.

She grew up Mexican American, the daughter of U.S. citizens, a short distance east of downtown Los Angeles in East L.A. Her father had a union job at a company that made garbage disposals.

And then I would come back and get ready for school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In time, the family got back on its feet.

So I started interviewing people in the Historic Filipinotown community to learn more about their stories. And as I started listening, I realized I could relate to their stories because of our diaspora connection.

Caught on camera by a bystander, graphic video of the attack was broadcast into homes across the nation and worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fury over the acquittal — stoked by years of racial and economic inequality in the city — spilled over into the streets, resulting in five days of rioting in Los Angeles. It ignited a national conversation about racial and economic disparity and police use of force that continues today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the verdict came out, it was a stunner for people coast to coast. My jaw dropped,\" says Jody David Armour, a criminal justice and law professor at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was ocular proof of what happened. It seemed compelling,\" he says of the videotape. \"And yet, we saw a verdict that told us we couldn't trust our lying eyes.

Police did not respond to incidents of looting and violence around the city until almost three hours after the original rioting broke out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the rest of the night, the scene at Florence and Normandie repeated itself with rioters across the city. Just before 9 p.m. that night, Mayor Tom Bradley called for a state of emergency, and California Gov. Pete Wilson ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to report to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 1, the third day of the riots, Rodney King himself attempted to publicly appeal to Los Angeles residents to stop fighting. He stood outside a Beverly Hills courthouse with his lawyer and asked \"People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the five days of unrest, there were more than 50 riot-related deaths — including 10 people who were shot and killed by LAPD officers and National Guardsmen. More than 2,000 people were injured, and nearly 6,000 alleged looters and arsonists were arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those arrested during the riots, 36 percent were African-Americans and 51 percent were Latinos, according to the Rand Corp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11428404\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11428404\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-800x526.jpg\" alt=\"A woman is comforted on April 30, 1992, as she stands next to a home burning as a result of the riots.\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-800x526.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-1020x671.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-1180x776.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-960x631.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-240x158.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-375x247.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-520x342.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman is comforted on April 30, 1992, as she stands next to a home burning as a result of the riots. \u003ccite>(Peter Turnley/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The riots also disrupted daily life: A city curfew from sunset to sunrise was announced, mail delivery stopped, and most residents couldn't go to work and school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/04/29/151608071/after-l-a-riots-an-effort-to-rebuild-a-broken-city\">More than 1,000 buildings\u003c/a> were damaged or destroyed, and \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/01/local/la-me-riot-koreans-20120501\">approximately 2,000 Korean-run businesses\u003c/a> were also damaged or destroyed.

Though LAPD Chief Darryl Gates announced early in the afternoon of April 29 that his officers had the situation under control, it would later be reported that the city was not adequately prepared for the riots. In fact, there was no anticipation of — or official plan at the department for — major social unrest on this scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the most astounding things about the 1992 Los Angeles riots was the response of the LAPD, which is to say no response at all,\" says author Joe Domanick, who has studied and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/08/15/431655518/the-transformation-of-the-lapd-and-the-work-that-remains\">written about the riots\u003c/a>, in an interview with Grigsby Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Gates went to speak at a fundraiser in West Los Angeles and reportedly ordered cops to retreat. Police did not respond to incidents of looting and violence around the city until almost three hours after the original rioting broke out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the rest of the night, the scene at Florence and Normandie repeated itself with rioters across the city. Just before 9 p.m. that night, Mayor Tom Bradley called for a state of emergency, and California Gov. Pete Wilson ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to report to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 1, the third day of the riots, Rodney King himself attempted to publicly appeal to Los Angeles residents to stop fighting. He stood outside a Beverly Hills courthouse with his lawyer and asked \"People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the five days of unrest, there were more than 50 riot-related deaths — including 10 people who were shot and killed by LAPD officers and National Guardsmen. More than 2,000 people were injured, and nearly 6,000 alleged looters and arsonists were arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those arrested during the riots, 36 percent were African-Americans and 51 percent were Latinos, according to the Rand Corp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11428404\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11428404\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-800x526.jpg\" alt=\"A woman is comforted on April 30, 1992, as she stands next to a home burning as a result of the riots.\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-800x526.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-1020x671.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-1180x776.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-960x631.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-240x158.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-375x247.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome-520x342.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningHome.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman is comforted on April 30, 1992, as she stands next to a home burning as a result of the riots. \u003ccite>(Peter Turnley/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The riots also disrupted daily life: A city curfew from sunset to sunrise was announced, mail delivery stopped, and most residents couldn't go to work and school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/04/29/151608071/after-l-a-riots-an-effort-to-rebuild-a-broken-city\">More than 1,000 buildings\u003c/a> were damaged or destroyed, and \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/01/local/la-me-riot-koreans-20120501\">approximately 2,000 Korean-run businesses\u003c/a> were also damaged or destroyed.

He bought a modest house for his mother and one for himself in the L.A. suburb of Rialto, and occasionally spoke with at-risk kids at the request of local police. King, the son of an alcoholic father, continued to struggle with his own alcohol use after his beating. He \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/04/23/150985823/rodney-king-comes-to-grips-with-the-riot-within\">told NPR in April 2012\u003c/a> that his sobriety was a work in progress. He was engaged to be married when he died that June. A skilled swimmer and surfer, King was found unconscious at the bottom of his swimming pool.
