Topic: Guests will discuss the first-ever release of records and surveys from the 1940 U.S. decennial census after the expiration of a 72-year confidentiality clause. The actual Census DATA was released in 1940’s (late because of WWII), but these are the surveys themselves for every single American. Guests will discuss major demographic and social changes that have occurred between the 1940 and 2010 censuses.

The segment starts at 2:13:00
