With African American Community Service Agency (AACSA) honoring tradition and keeping the dream alive, San Jose and Santa Clara County have been steadfast in celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy in various ways, recognizing members who are impacting the community as well as shedding light on AACSA programs and services. Over the past 42 years, our audience has increased from 25 to over 900 people who have gathered at hotels, community centers, churches, and Lou's Village. Formerly, the South Bay Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Luncheon committee honored two community leaders for the work and service they had provided in this community. Now, four awards will be bestowed to honorees in the categories: the Spirit of Service, Drum Major,  Facing the Challenge, and the Gene Young Awards in honor of one of the founders of the South Bay Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Luncheon.
