African immigrants make up a small share of the nation’s immigrant population, but their overall numbers are growing – roughly doubling every decade since 1970, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
There were 2.1 million African immigrants living in the United States in 2015, up from 881,000 in 2000 and a substantial increase from 1970 when the U.S. was home to only 80,000 foreign-born Africans. They accounted for 4.8% of the U.S. immigrant population in 2015, up from 0.8% in 1970.

On Friday, August 2nd, 2023, the Somali American Youth Parent Association (SAYPA) hosted its Eighth Annual Somali Graduation Ceremony, honoring and celebrating Somali Youth on achieving their goal of graduating high school. For many of the students, they are the first in their families ever to graduate high school and be accepted to college or pursue an education in a specific trade. This event was organized to celebrate the achievements of the youth in our community and to show that their community will support them in their endeavors.
This event encompassed a night of celebration, to which members of our community, from youth to elder leaders, were invited and participated.
It was a fantastic night of celebration!
The event was composed of the following events:
Jamaad Basketball Inc. and SAYPA hosted their eighth annual Somali Independence Day celebration at Jeep Jones Park. This program featured a basketball tournament and cultural festivals.
JBC, with the help of SAYPA, selected 15 players to develop their basketball skills this summer 2024. These two teams will train for two weeks and then compete against the neighboring teams IA.
