S.F. should gift Fillmore Heritage Center to make reparations, Black leaders urge

Leaders with San Francisco’s Black community are calling on the city to donate the building that houses the Fillmore Center to a local nonprofit as part of the city’s reparation plan.

According to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People San Francisco chapter, transferring ownership of the building, located at 1330 Fillmore St., would help correct wrongs done in the past by the city to the dwindling African American community back in the 1950s and ’60s through urban renewal programs.
