Us Citizenship Podcast

Happy African-American History Month! During the month of February, US Citizenship Podcast explores the connection between the African American History and the USCIS Citizenship Interview. Our first interview is a re-edit of a Citizenship interview with Krestos Negasi (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) 2013 pdf: http://goo.gl/roUigH   2016 mp3: http://traffic.libsyn.com/uscitizenpod/mlk-day-citizenship-interview.mp3  This mock Citizenship interview was inspired by “Holding the Bag," a high beginning ESL novel about an Ethiopian-American cab driver in Washington DC. After the interview, I will talk a little bit more about "Holding the Bag" and our resources for African American History Month. A bit more about "Holding the Bag" Negasi is a Washington DC taxi driver from Ethiopia who has been in the U.S. for many years and has a family. He accidentally becomes involved in a robbery and faces a moral issue. You can order "Holding the Bag" Ana Gianola or "Citizenship Passing the Test" by Lynn Weintraub from NewReadersPress.
