Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association
The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) is a historical Chinese association established in various parts of the United States and Canada, with large Chinese communities. The association's clientele were Chinese immigrants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly from eight districts on the west side of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong, southern China, and their descendants. The latter wave of Chinese immigrants, after 1965, who came from a much wider area of China, did not experience the level of hostilities faced by the pioneers and did not join the CCBA, which greatly lessened its influence.
