1958 Church social at Third Baptist Church in the Western Addition.
The Western Addition was inhabited historically by a black population from Louisiana and Texas, which had a large portion of Catholics, unlike Bayview-Hunters Point, which was populated by people who came from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. In fact it wasn't until Martin Luther King came to SF that there was even a joint black religious entity in SF, the separation between Bayview-Hunter's Point and the Western Addition was that great.
