About Us

Organizational Background

The Latin American and Caribbean Community Center (LACCC) was formed in September of 2003 as a community based organization that would address the diverse political, economic and cultural needs of the growing Latino and Caribbean populations in Metropolitan Atlanta, with a special emphasis on the most marginalized element of the Latino community – Afro Latinos. Formed by a small collective of concerned Afro Latinos with political and cultural ties to the Caribbean, the mission of LACCC is to empower the marginalized communities and people of Latin America and the Caribbean who reside in the United States so that they may assert their economic, political, environmental, cultural and social rights.
