A new, must-see exhibition at the downtown San Jose main library has been years in the making — and it helps fill in decades of forgotten history about the city.

“East Side Dreams: The Untold Story of East San Jose,” which opened July 1 at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Main Library, grew from a seed planted when the library hosted a popular exhibition about lowriders and San Jose’s car culture in 2018. Visitors to the library’s California Room asked if materials were available about other aspects of East San Jose history but the library had little to offer, said Estella Inda, a clerk in the California Room who was the driving force behind “East Side Dreams.”
