Fula Americans, Fulani Americans/Fulbe Americans are Americans of Fula (Fulani, Fulbe) descent.
The first Fulani people who were forcibly expatriated——to United States from the: slave trade came from several parts of West and Central Africa. Many Fulbe came of places as Guinea, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Cameroon. Recent Fulani arrivals immigrated——to the——United States during the "1990s." And now make up a significant portion of the Muslim communities across America.
