content: Magdagena Miepy (presenter); Donna Vanderhoff; Dr. Michael Jones [Performers] We often see pictures and media coverage of immigrants raising their right hands at a citizenship ceremony taking the Oath of Allegiance, the final step before becoming a citizen of the United States. But do you know what happens during the weeks and months that precede the ceremony? Visitors are invited to the Quiz Bowl hosted by the National Museum of American History and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to see how much they know about the process of becoming an American citizen and to learn more about this important rite of passage that is part of the historical tradition of the United States.
