Did you know that West Oakland was once considered the “Harlem of the
West”? After WWII, this bustling music scene attracted performances from
such artists as **Billie Holiday, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Big Mama
Thornton and T-Bone Walker. *


*[Oakland Wiki] Sunday History Edit-a-thons*
*Sundays, starting January 13th, 2013!*

Bring a computer or note-taking materials to the Oakland History Room and
hang with your fellow local history nuts as we research and add historical
content to the Oakland Wiki. The Oakland Wiki <http://oaklandwiki.org/>,
based on the wildly popular Davis Wiki <http://daviswiki.org/>, is a
community-created effort that aims to compile into one place everything and
anything about our unique and fascinating city. Come be a part of this
historic event and help write the story of Oakland!
