History Like other African groups, the first Ivorians to arrive in the United States were imported as slaves in the 18th century.The University of North Carolina library extension publication, Volumes 10-11 (1944), p. 25 In the 1970s a small group of Ivorian students came to the United States and then lived there permanently.

A strong system of chain migration began. That is, friends and family emigrated to the United States, c ...

Exhibition Game
An exhibition game (also known as a friendly, a scrimmage, a demonstration, a preseason game, a warmup match, or a preparation match, depending at least in part on the sport) is a sporting event whose prize money and impact on the player's or the team's rankings is either zero or otherwise greatly reduced.

The games can be held between separate teams or between parts of the same team. An exhibition game may also be used to settle a challenge, to provide professional entertainment, to promote the sport, to commemorate an anniversary or a famous player, or to raise money for charities. Several sports leagues hold all-star games to showcase their best players ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
