Alamo City Black Chamber of Commerce
About Us
Our Story...
Founded in 1938 as the Negro Chamber of Commerce, the Alamo City Black Chamber (ACBCC) was born when one woman and twelve men united to advance Black business in San Antonio. At its first meeting at the Pine Street YWCA, Thomas L. Holley was elected president, with 23 organizations joining as charter members.
​
Renamed in 1964, ACBCC has carried forward that legacy—championing business growth, professional development, and economic progress for San Antonio’s Black community while connecting people and building prosperity locally and beyond.
