DESCRIPTION:Japantown, Urban Renewal and Fillmore Jazz Walk\nWith SF City Guides.\nSan 
 Francisco’s Japantown dates from the great earthquake and fire of 1906, 
 when the Japanese population united west of the fire line, as did the 
 Jewish community. Uprooted by World War II, the Japanese were replaced 
 mostly by African-Americans, 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. Ironworker Mike Daly will make a presentation on the life and 
 struggle of resister Fred Korematsu. The Fillmore was also home to the 
 Jewish Community of San Francisco from 1906-1950.  The US Post Office on 
 Geary near Fillmore was the site of a Jewish temple.  In the 1950s and 
 early 1960s, there were still Jewish delicatessens and other food places, 
 including Langendorf Bakery at 1160 McAllister, Heineman & Stern meats at 
 1040 McAllister, Diller's Restaurant at 1233 Golden Gate.\nThe former 
 headquarters and social rooms of the San Francisco Labor Lyceum Association 
 were in a basement at 1740 O'Farrell Street. The old Workmen's Circle and 
 Socialist Party activities centered here. \nSee
