Center For Sacramento History: "Replacing The Past"

About This Show

Featured: The Center for Sacramento History and producer Chris Lango present this 30-minute documentary, which examines the massive and controversial urban renewal efforts to remake downtown Sacramento during the 1950s and 60s. These redevelopment projects, including the creation of Capitol Mall, Old Sacramento, Interstate 5, Macy's and the K Street Mall significantly changed the urban core of Sacramento, shuttering hundreds of businesses and displacing thousands of residents, especially the city's ethnic populations.
