Bridge, Japantown
Before World War II San Francisco's Japantown covered 40 square blocks. But in 1942 thousands of people of Japanese ancestry, many of them American citizens, were forced into internment camps, their homes and businesses sold. As a symbol of reconciliation the city built the Japan Center in 1968. Today only about four percent of San Francisco's Japanese population live in Japantown.
