In the past century, this area was a key point for immigrants and activists, playing a crucial role in shaping the cultural and social landscape of the region. The multi-ethnic housing complex on Oak Street in Boston, known as the "Chinatown," is a testament to the rich and dynamic history of Chinatown in the neighborhood. The residents and activists of this area stood united in their fight to preserve their heritage and protect their homes from the forces of gentrification and displacement. In the 1950s and 60s, the multi-ethnic complex "Metropolitan" emerged as a response to large-scale urbansiation projects that threatened the displacement and destruction of thriving immigrant communities, who considered Chinatown their home.
**"The Chinese participated in demonstrations against displacement," says an activist.**
