Our History

Established in 1954, the Houston Lodge is a part of the National Chinese American Citizens Alliance, a non-partisan Chinese American fraternal, benevolent non-profit organization founded in 1895,
Our national organization began in San Francisco, California. It was formed as a result of unfair  immigration laws passed solely against the Chinese called the "1882 Exclusion Act ". ( See www.cacanational.org )
C.A.C.A. has been spearheading efforts against unfair immigration laws, working to promote naturalization and citizenship,  participating in the census count, having equal educational economic opportunities, and advocating voter registration,
