http://www.metrotimes.com/edit orial/story.asp?id=9800 Hailing from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Eritrea, South Africa and other countries, the area's African-born population is diverse within itself. Its growth in recent years, which is expected to continue, could change the face of the traditional black community here as it has in some other parts of the country. "There are a lot of professionals. That is the big theme," says David Wiley, director of the African Studies Center at Michigan State University. "The statistics that I saw in the last census ... the Africans were the best-educated by far [of any immigrant group]. Of the population over age 25, at least 50 percent had one degree or more." Why is the first response to these new Detroiters often negative? |
