Black Immigrants in the United States: Population, Spending Power, and Political Capital

Steven Hubbard, Senior Data Scientist and Robin Lundh for the American Immigration Council highlight Black immigrants in the United States:

“Black immigrants make up a vital part of America’s rich cultural life. Think of authors Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; musicians Miriam Makeba and Wyclef Jean; comedian Trevor Noah; activist Marcus Garvey; NBA hall of famer and philanthropist Dikembe Mutombo—to name but a very few. For generations across the United States, Black immigrants have enriched our academics, music, cuisine, fashion, dance, and more.”
