Richard Henry Harris, Jr. (August 22, 1918 – July 24, 1976) was a prominent civil rights leader and pharmacist. A personal friend, neighbor and collaborator of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. in Montgomery, Alabama, Harris was instrumental in three of the most seminal protests of the U.S. civil rights movement: the Freedom Riders, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma to Montgomery marches. Harris's home, best known as the famed "Richard Harris House", was Montgomery's central command center and safe haven for beaten and bloodied Freedom Riders as they traveled to Jackson, Mississippi, amidst physically violent racial rioters, National Guard protection, and Alabama segregationist authorities’ call for martial law.
