About

A transformative transnational dialogue on race, identity and culture held between Black immigrants and African Americans.

In the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally, the number of Black immigrants, especially from Africa, has grown exponentially over the past two decades. This migration and settling into new communities outside of Africa conjures many questions for the new arrivals, as well as for African American communities.

What are the experiences of new Black immigrant and refugee communities as they navigate their ethnic and racial identities in daily interactions with one another and with their American counterparts?

What are the triggers behind existing tensions between U.S.-born and Black immigrant and refugee communities? How do we rise above the tensions and begin to build strong alliances?
