The San Diego History Center, in partnership with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art, presents the exhibition "San Diego’s Lost Neighborhoods" at our Balboa Park museum. Using augmented reality, oral histories, and archival materials, the exhibition examines how discriminatory policies—including redlining, freeway construction, and gentrification—displaced communities and documents the human impact of that loss. Featured neighborhoods include Julian, City Heights, the Gaslamp Quarter, La Jolla, Chollas View, Southcrest, and MLK Way; the exhibition invites citywide reflection on this often overlooked chapter of our city’s past.
