Generally, however, the 15,000-strong Japanese community in San Francisco keeps a low profile. The exception is at the Japan Center (see p130), a prominent cultural and shopping complex on Geary Boulevard. In the late 1930s, this area extended over 40 blocks. During World War II, the Japanese along the US West Coast were relocated to internment camps in the nation’s interior. After the war, they drifted back to the area, but now the community occupies only six blocks. A police koban (booth) in Japantown  44 INTRODUCING SAN FRANCISCO Gay San Francisco: A History The history of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community in San Francisco is in some ways the story of the gay movement itself.

You can see Mission-style and turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts pieces at the Oakland Museum. There is also a small, but interesting, collection of late 18th-century artifacts and furniture on display inside the Octagon House, itself a fine, and unique, example of Victorian architectural house design (see pp76–7). The California Historical Society (see p115) has an eclectic collection of fine and decorative arts as well as the largest single public collection of 19th century California prints and photography.

The businesses prospered after World War II, and many families moved to the suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s. However, they often return to “Little Italy” to patronize the excellent Italian cafés and restaurants that still flourish in the area. The African-Americans Although black people have played an important role throughout San Francisco’s history, the city’s large AfricanAmerican community is a relatively recent phenomenon. In the 1930s, fewer than 5,000 blacks lived in San Francisco. Thousands more came to work in the factories and shipyards during World War II, increasing the black population tenfold.
