Story About Us

Founded in 1972 in Detroit, the Association of Chinese Americans (ACA) emerged from a collective vision to unite, support, and champion the rights of Chinese Americans during a period of social and political turbulence. Quickly becoming a beacon of hope and a community cornerstone, ACA has actively promoted the welfare and interests of Chinese Americans, encouraged their participation in American life, and played a key role in relevant legislation, consistently advocating for justice and equality. Over the years, ACA has evolved into a dynamic organization, spearheading initiatives from cultural celebrations to social justice efforts, always aiming to improve the lives of its members and the wider community.

Today, ACA exemplifies the strength of community and the impact of unwavering dedication to a cause. The organization not only preserves and celebrates Chinese cultural heritage but also creates opportunities for individual achievement. Through education, advocacy, and community service, ACA remains a leader in meeting the changing needs of Chinese Americans. It is a place where voices are heard, rights are safeguarded, and cultural identities are honored. ACA’s lasting legacy is a vibrant, inclusive community that actively contributes to America’s diverse cultural mosaic.

ACA is not just an organization, it's the heart of our community. Their unwavering dedication has uplifted countless lives and continues to inspire a legacy of unity and resilience.
