Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A controversy erupted earlier this year when it was revealed that the Census Bureau released specially-prepared data on Arab-American communities to the Homeland Security Department. Since then, the Census Bureau says it has put procedures in place to avoid what it saw as perception problems about privacy and confidentiality standards. But this past month, an Advisory Committee took the Census Bureau to task, equating the action with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. We look at the issues.
Guests
- D.V. "Sonny" Flores Vice-Chair, Decennial Census Advisory Committee; also President of PEC Corporation, a consulting engineering group
- Nancy Gordon Associate Director for Demographic Programs, US Census Bureau
