Booker T. Washington Community Service Center has a nearly 90 year history of providing multi-generational services to African American and other communities in the Western Addition of San Francisco. Founded in 1919 and incorporated in 1923, Booker T. has provided support for African American families since just after the First World War. It has been a place to organize and has responded to community needs with job training, after school and teen programs, recreation, emergency food, counsel on housing and health care, senior clubs and other programs.

Many of Booker T's efforts were in response to Jim Crow segregation, discrimination in employment, disenfranchising black soldiers and their families after the First and Second World Wars, and the uprooting of black families through urban renewal. More recently the population served includes immigrants. Many are from the Middle East, Mexico, Russia and China.
