RACIAL INJUSTICE-BLACK IMMIGRANTS

Inspired by the global protests against systemic racism and police brutality, Nigerian American lifestyle blogger Nifesimi Akingbe delivered a message to Black immigrant communities in the United States: This is your battle, too. The 31-year-old has been outspoken about racial equity since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. But amid the camaraderie younger Black immigrants like her feel with African Americans, they also see a generational divide in their communities. Elsa Arega, an Ethiopian immigrant who lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, often worries about her daughter attending protests. She says people come to this country to work, not to get into an argument with the government. By Haleluya Hadero. UPCOMING: 870 words, photos.
