Listen "S1E1: Counting Americans - controversy, clash and Constitutional crisis: 1920-21 and 2020-21"
Episode Synopsis
The resignation of the director of one of the many bureaus in our federal government does not frontpage news make. However, controversy and clash over who should be counted in the 2020 U.S. does, just as it did in 1920. Similar to our time, a century ago including immigrants in the census was the issue.
