The San Diego History Center, in partnership with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art, presents "San Diego’s Lost Neighborhoods," at our museum in the heart of Balboa Park. This powerful and immersive exhibition invites visitors to explore the histories of once-thriving communities—including Julian, City Heights, the Gaslamp Quarter, La Jolla, Chollas View, Southcrest, and MLK Way—through augmented reality experiences, firsthand oral histories, and rare archival materials. Together, these stories reveal how redlining, freeway construction, and other discriminatory policies reshaped neighborhoods and displaced generations, while honoring the resilience, culture, and lived experiences of the people who called these places home.
