Scholars and observers have long noted that Black Americans exhibit a high degree of political unity. Despite great diversity within Black America, Black Americans tend to overwhelmingly back the Democratic Party and show wide support for a host of social programs and policies designed to uplift Black America. But with a large and growing Black immigrant population, the question emerges: is Black political unity waning? In this Brown Bag, I present very preliminary research that seeks to address the question of  whether Black immigrants exhibit similar levels of support for the Democratic Party, and for pro-Black social programs and policies as do native-born Black Americans.
