Its share in the <a href="/wiki/Second_Great_Migration_(African_American)" title="Second Great Migration (African American)">Second Great Migration</a> almost tripled Little Tokyo's pre-war population, with some 80,000 new arrivals taking up residence there. For a brief time, the area became known as Bronzeville, as <a href="/wiki/African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African Americans</a> and also <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Latinos" class="mw-redirect" title="Latinos">Latinos</a> moved into the vacated properties and opened up nightclubs, restaurants, and other businesses. Prohibited from buying and renting in most parts of the city by <a href="/wiki/Covenant_(law)#Exclusionary_covenants" title="Covenant (law)">restrictive covenants</a>, the area soon became severely overcrowded. A single bathroom was often shared by up to 40 people and one room could house as many as 16 occupants; people frequently shared "hot beds," sleeping in shifts. Poor housing conditions helped spread communicable illnesses like tuberculosis and venereal disease. Crimes like robberies, rapes, and hit-and-run accidents increased, and in May and June 1943 Latino and some African American residents of Bronzeville were attacked by whites in the <a href="/wiki/Zoot_Suit_Riots" title="Zoot Suit Riots">Zoot Suit race riots</a>. </p><p>In 1943, officials bowed to pressure from frustrated residents and proposed building temporary housing in nearby <a href="/wiki/Willowbrook,_California" title="Willowbrook, California">Willowbrook</a>, but the majority-white residents of the unincorporated city resisted the plans. In 1944, 57 Bronzeville buildings were condemned as unfit for habitation and 125 ordered repaired or renovated; approximately 50 of the evicted families were sent to the <a href="/wiki/Jordan_Downs" title="Jordan Downs">Jordan Downs</a> housing complex. In 1945, many defense industry jobs disappeared and the workers moved elsewhere in search of new employment. Others were pushed out when Japanese Americans began to return and white landlords chose not to renew leases with their wartime tenants.<sup id="cite_ref-Nakagawa_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nakagawa-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Post_World_War_II">Post World War II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Little_Tokyo,_Los_Angeles&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Post World War II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following the War, many previous Japanese residents returned to Little Tokyo to continue managing businesses by purchasing Bronzeville business leases.<sup id="cite_ref-nps_7-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nps-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Albeit smaller, a commercial core still managed to exist in Little Tokyo.
