On November 26, l978, at the Antioch Baptist Church, 268 East Julian Street in San Jose, California, twelve individuals gathered to establish the Afro-American Community Service Agency. We, the African-American Community, thank you for planting the seed and we the African American Community will nurture the seed so that it will continue to grow.
