How much thought have you given to the Census? While most people are aware that the US government conducts a census every ten years, many people do not consider the relationship between the census and race in the US. If you want to become better equipped to understand the 2020 census understanding the way that census questions about race have upheld white supremacy for over two centuries is crucial. This history can give you the framework to consider if or how the census can be used for justice in the future.
