Would You Pass?
Far more immigrants applying to become US citizens pass the U S Naturalization Test than when large groups of US citizens take the test. I wondered if I could and made this accordion fold book of the 100 questions and answers on the test. Handprints were painted on the inside paper and pressed onto the cover paper as during the naturalization ceremony, new citizens raise their right hands and recite the Oath of Allegiance.
