The population of African immigrants in the United States has grown rapidly over the past few decades. Hear from Dr. Kefa Otiso, who has extensively studied African immigration to the U.S. as one of his primary research interests, and gain perspectives of what it truly means to be a sub-Saharan African immigrant in the United States.
