This month the state of Georgia will recognize the state's oldest Chinese organization, which was started right here in the CSRA.  It was 96 years ago, in 1927, when 59 Chinese men signed a petition to charter the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Augusta. Now, after decades of community service, and being a vital part of the cultural experience of Augusta, the Georgia Historical Society is planning to honor the CCBA with an historical marker on May 19th. CCBA President Gary Tom reflected on the event this way.
