Speaker. I rise today to submit to the RECORD an article from the July 26. New York Carib News in support of citizen rights for Caribbean immigrants. Caribbean migrants have worked in the country for centuries. The Caribbean is the source of the U.S.s earliest and largest Black immigrant group and the primary source of growth of the Black population in the U.S. The region has exported more of its people than any other region of the world since the abolition of slavery in 1834. The fact that there are close to 50 major Caribbean carnivals throughout North America attests to the permanence of the Caribbean immigration experience. Caribbean music. such as soca. calypso. reggae. and now reggaeton. is having a profound impact on U.S. popular culture. Other Caribbean cultural expressions. like food. dance and art. are becoming established in mainstream America.
