The American dream is the main reason why for centuries the United States of America has been the number one destination for generations of immigrants. During all these years each immigrant, hitting the road, to come legally or illegally into this country, believes that anybody, regardless of his or her origins, can achieve prosperity and success for himself and his family. They come from all over the world, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. And for some of those who eventually settle in the country, the dream can become a reality. VOA’s Arzouma Kompaore gives us a closer look at these African immigrants who are transforming their lives in America. Africa is the place where all knowledge comes from and living in the world would not have been good without Africa’s contribution.
