THE FILLMORE DISTRICT
AFRICAN AMERICAN JAZZ AND CULTURE

The Fillmore District, once the most vibrant African American neighbor-hood in San Francisco, is making a comeback three decades after it was targeted for urban renewal. Efforts also are under way to make this a Jazz Preservation District, restoring the area to its former 1940s glory when it was called the Harlem of the West and boasted two dozen jazz venues, including Jimbo’s Bop City.
