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:

 \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
