The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) is a community organization established in the late 19th century to support Chinese immigrants in the United States. It serves as a central body for various Chinese societies, providing social, cultural, and legal assistance to its members. The CCBA plays a crucial role in advocating for the rights and welfare of the Chinese community. The association also organizes cultural events and festivals, helping to preserve Chinese heritage and traditions. By fostering unity among different Chinese groups, the CCBA has contributed significantly to the social fabric of cities with large Chinese populations, such as San Francisco and New York City.
