Black Press USA-: "WASHINGTON (NNPA) - This election year is different for Olufunke Okeanawi. The 23-year-old nursing student at Howard University speaks of the Democratic primary with excitement and opportunity, in a noticeably different tone and optimism than many students her age.
This bright perspective, this difference in Olu is because unlike many of her classmates, this will be her first year and chance to vote for a U. S. presidential candidate. It is also unique because though polls often discuss the great political influence of African-American and Hispanic citizens of the U. S. , the nearly one million foreign born Africans in the U. S. will also make an impact. For the most part, the concerns of native Africans are just like everyone else, Okeanawi says."
