U.S. Citizenship Quiz for African-American History Month 2020


In February 2020, restrictions on immigration were placed on six additional countries, including Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan, and Tanzania.   In honor of African-American History Month, this quiz celebrates the contributions of Nigeran, Eritrean, Sudanese, and Tanzanian immigrants and their children. 



I read some very interesting articles to prepare for this quiz.  Here are some of the articles:
