Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Being Black and an immigrant is an increasingly common phenomenon in the South, where 1 in 10 Black people are immigrants.

NPR's Leah Donnella reports on hurdles Black immigrants face in order to drive in Tennessee, a state with one of the fastest growing populations of Black immigrants in the South, and with few options for transportation.
