How Does Immigration Affect Black Community Organizing
This research is guided by the question: how does immigration affect Black community organizing? The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between Black immigration and Black community organizing. One of the underpins of this question is determining whether the existing tensions between subgroups within the Black community, specifically native and non-native Black populations in the United States, are inflated by the prioritization of issues by community organizations. I hypothesize that there is a lack acknowledgement for immigration by community organizations due to a general misconception that immigration is not an issue that affects Black people, leading to an erasure of immigrant issues, thus exacerbating tensions
