Demographer William Frey talks to host Amber Khan about the importance of an accurate census count and how the attempt to insert a citizenship question threatens that accuracy. Frey also describes what the 2020 Census may show — that as a nation we are growing younger and more diverse. That diversity, he predicts, will define the coming century in the United States.

William Frey, senior fellow at The Brookings Institute, research professor at the University of Michigan, and author of Diversity Explosion: How New Racial Demographics are Remaking America.

Amber Khan speaks with Shagufta Ahmed, who spearheads interfaith outreach for the U.S. Census Bureau. Ahmed is passionate about the census, something she inherited from her father, an immigrant. She discusses what’s at stake in an accurate census for minority and immigrant groups and describes how the U.S. Census Bureau works to build trust among those groups.
