Bantu refugees from Somalia! The Bantu are probably Africa's largest single racial grouping, accounting for much of eastern and southern Africa. In Somalia, the Bantus were imported as slaves two hundred years ago from down the coast, and have been a minority underclass ever since. A few thousand of them are being taught how to live in a modern world, preparing to be granted refugee status in the U.S.A. Some will come to Boston. Courtesy NYTimes.com
