In the 1950s an area of farm and swampland to the south of Madison was inhabited by a number of Italian and African-American families who found themselves displaced by the redevelopment of the Greenbush neighborhood. This are became known as Bram's addition, and the area has undergone periods of great change over the past half century. The neighborhood is diverse, expanding upon its initial inhabitants to include a strong Latino and Hmong presence as well. In the 1970s, federal funding supported construction of a community center and affordable housing, increasing the area's population. The neighborhood has struggled through times of violence when gang and gun violence threatened the safety and well-being of its residents. In response, community institutions have taken root to try to foster a safe community. These include the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the Catholic Multicultural Center, the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County and Penn Park. The area benefits from Park St.'s economic presence and a number of locally owned restaurants and businesses have begun to take root. Now known as the Gateway to Madison, this neighborhood, and other southside areas, hope to see continued growth and renewal in the future.
