African immigration to the United States

African immigration to the United States refers to immigrants to the United States who are or were nationals of modern African countries. Between the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 and 2017 the African born population in the United States grew to 2.1 million people.^[1] The term African in the scope of this article refers to geographical or national origins rather than racial affiliation.

African immigration to Minneapolis/St. Paul is the biggest in the United States of America. Between 1990–2000, African immigration to Minneapolis/St. Paul was enough to grow the number of African people by 629%.^[2]
