“I stand on generations of shoulders. There are many many people who, they day they arrived here in 1973, already had a mindset of what our community could look like if we call worked together.”

“Whenever I talk about ACC, I do it with a great sense of pride. Pride, in knowing that I am a part of an institution that is really making a difference in breaking generational cycles of poverty.”
