Between 1880 and 1920 approximately 28,000,000 immigrants ---- mainly of southern and eastern European origin, and thus of the so-called “darker races” ---- entering the U.S., the vast majority settling in New York City, where by 1920 only one of six inhabitant was white, U.S.-born, and Protestant. The immigrants were joined by millions of African-Americans from the rural south to industrial north and mid-western centers, sought economic and social opportunities on the new status of the U.S. as world industrial leader.
