“I am because you are and since you are, therefore, I am.”
The rich history has consistently affected significant changes to enhance the African American community’s health, education, business opportunities, promotional advancement and cultural diversity.
The inception of the African/African Ancestry Health and Heritage Month (AAAHHM) in 2016 was a response to the Call to Action initiated by the African/African Ancestry Community, the Black Leadership Kitchen Cabinet and various stakeholders. The purpose of the Call to Action was to address long-standing racism that people of African/African Ancestry continue to experience within Santa Clara County. Much of this has been detailed and published in a Countywide African/African Ancestry Health Assessment Research Project in 2014.
A demographic study of this county’s African American community has paved the way for our new health center.
Future studies will be: economic development, social services, criminal justice, technology and cultural.
Virtual Village will connect local organizations with the community members they serve.
