Sobrante Park is located in East Oakland CA, separated from the rest of the city by railroad tracks and industrial neighborhoods.[1]
It was built shortly after World War II,First as a White-Only Lockout and then gradually becoming a White flight red-zone in the mid to late 50's.
THEN in the early 60's it became a working-class black neighborhood.Interestingly,it was projected by planners that there would be no in-road into SanLeandro's Davis St.residential area which was developed during the same period.
