Introduction to U.S. Naturalization – UGA Summit of Excellence
Introduction to U.S. Naturalization
Millions came, stayed, and naturalized. The benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen were significant and included the right to vote and claim land under the homestead act. In this overview of the naturalization process we’ll look at key laws and requirements for citizenship, from 1776 to the mid-1900s, and the records generated by the process.
This class is part of UGA’s Summit of Excellence, 5-7 September 2024.
Check out the full program and list of speakers on their website.
