Title	K Street
Date	1975
Description	Taken in circa 1975, this photo of the K Street Mall shows not simply pedestrians crossing at Ninth and K Streets, but the diversity that would come to define so much of latter twentieth-century Sacramento. Population distribution for Sacramento, by race, for 1980 is as follows: European American 62.3; African American 13.4 percent; Hispanic 14.2; and Asian 8.7 percent. Just years earlier, K Street was converted into a pedestrian mall. By 1979, however, the City Council was already calling for improved lighting, more security, more frequent train service, better maintenance and cleaning, dealing with the vacant appearance of storefronts, increased night activity and the prohibition of kiosks.
