Omaha And Its Large Immigrant Community

As in many cities in the United States, Omaha is home to many immigrants who have added cultural and economic value to the town. Most of these are of Hispanic origin, as it is the city's most significant representation of minorities.

The immigrant population of Omaha was dominated during the 1930s by Eastern Europeans and the Italian people, who later settled in other towns near Omaha over the years. Then immigrants from Mexico and Central America filled the space left by the previous settlers, followed by those from the Caribbean and South America.

This contributed to Omaha being recognized for its Latino holidays, such as Cinco de Mayo, Fiestas Patrias, and Hispanic Heritage Month. There are also Lithuanian, Italian, Czech, and African community events.

Although Hispanic participation at the institutional level is not equitable, those who have contributed enormously to making changes to the city, visible through improvements in public education, and bilingual education, for example, as well as incorporating more workers from different cultures. Moreover, they offer courses in various languages ​​such as Arabic, Karen, and Hindi.
