DESCRIPTION:Japanese and African American Worker’s Stories\nWalk in San Francisco’s 
 Nihon Machi (Japantown)\nBy Alan Sable (City Guide)\nSan Francisco’s 
 Japantown, one of only three remaining in the United States, dates from the 
 great earthquake and fire of 1906, when the Japanese population united west 
 of the fire line. Uprooted by World War II & FDR's illegal mass 
 imprisonment of Japanese & Japanese-Americans without trial, the Japanese 
 were replaced mostly by newly arrived African-American workers, who brought 
 their vibrant musical heritage with them. The area was one of the first to 
 experience the dramatic changes of 1950s urban renewal programs which 
 continue. In recent years the area has seen a wealth of Japanese 
 architecture next to the classic Victorians and a rebirth of 
 African-American culture in the Fillmore Jazz Preservation District.\nThe 
 Fillmore District was also a Jewish immigrant neighborhood in the 1920s and 
 1930s, which bakeries survived into the 1950s and early 1960s.  There was a 
 Jewish temple where the post office now is at Geary near 
 Fillmore.\nFrom:\nhttp://foundsf.org/index.php?title=The_Fillmore:_A_Jewish_Neighborhood_in_the_1920s\nHamilton 
 Junior High School, Geary near Scott. \nThe school was built in 1875 and 
 torn down in 1930. It stood next door to Girl's High School, now Benjamin 
 Franklin Junior High. The student body was predominantly a mixture of 
 white, black and Japanese, reflecting the ethnic makeup of the portion of 
 the Western Addition District. \nFrom Jerry Flamm, Good Life in Hard Times,
