Description
San Francisco's Chinatown is home to the well-known and historic Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (known as the Chinese Six Companies), which is the umbrella organization for local Chinese family and regional associations in Chinatown. It has spawned lodges in other Chinatowns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Chinatown, Los Angeles and Chinatown, Portland. Author Amy Tan grew up in the neighborhood. Her book The Joy Luck Club is based on her experiences here and it chronicles the neighborhood's history.
