THE SINCLAIR PARK PROJECT

Sinclair Park Project landing page with old photos, a Bremerton newspaper, a Victrola record and a SnapShots album

Built as a WWII housing project, the Sinclair Park neighborhood became predominantly populated by African-Americans due to the segregation of the time. The neighborhood faced many challenges due to isolation, lack of investment, and segregation compared to other, largely White, wartime housing developments. Cut off from public transportation, businesses and other resources, still the people living here found community, strength and togetherness. Hear their stories. See their faces. Dance to their music.

This content was created by the Black Historical Society of Kitsap County in 2004 as an interactive DVD. Kitsap History Museum shares it now to make the stories of Sinclair Park widely available. More details about the project can be found in the credits section below.
