The United States government has changed its definition of who
counts as black throughout the years and the census is proof of
that. During the very first census in 1790, it was simply "slaves."
Now, in 2020, it's "Black or African American," with the option to
write in a country of origin. This week, we share an episode from
the Code Switch podcast about the ever-shifting boundaries of
blackness and why it matters to this decade's census.
