SUMMARY:Naturalization Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Naturalization Ceremony on Constitution Day at\n\nHomestead National Monument of America\n\n \n\nHomestead National Monument of America is honored to host a United States Citizenship and Naturalization Ceremony on Wednesday\, September 17\, 2014.  New citizens will take their Oath of Allegiance to the United States at the ceremony.  The ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. in the Education Center's Courtyard.  The public is encouraged to attend.  \n\n \n\nNaturalization is the process by which U.S. Citizenship is conferred upon foreign citizens or nationals after fulfilling the requirements established by Congress. After naturalization\, foreign-born citizens enjoy nearly all the same benefits\, rights and responsibilities that the Constitution gives to native-born U.S. Citizens\, including the right to vote.\n\n \n\n"The Homestead Act encouraged both immigration to the United States and migration within the country.

The class will focus on the United States Constitution and the knowledge required to pass the naturalization test.  Judge Paul Korslund will be talking about role of law and what judges do\; Raul Escobar\, a certified court interpreter\, will be speaking about helping provide court proceedings in an understandable language\; and Anita Mayo\, Omaha attorney and naturalized citizen\, will talk about her ceremony and pride in becoming an American citizen. \n\n \n\nRemember\, Homestead National Monument of America has an exciting schedule of events planned for 2014.
