The importance to the Black commu­
nity of an accurate census cannot be under­
estimated. Billions in government funds are
based on census data which is also used to
apportion representation, and Io draw bounda­
ries for Congressional, state and local elec­
tion districts. The figures gathered can also
become the foundation for affirmative ac­
tion programs and anti-discrimination law­
suits.
The 1980 Census neglected to include
up to 6.5 percent of the Black population,
three or four times the figure for the nation
as a whole. Although Blacks are less than 12
percent of the population, they comprised
more than 50% o f the people missed in the
last census.
Among reasons given for some Blacks
not being accurately counted, were fear by
families that landlords would discover ille­
gally shared apartments; general distrust of
government; and, the increasing number of
homeless. In addition, census takers feared
canvassing in areas they perceived as
“ dangerous.”
Dr. Martin Hochbaum, director of
AJCongress’ Commission on National
Affairs, and project supervisor of Forum:
The black-Jewish Awareness Project, con­
tends that in 1990, the count of Blacks could
again be inaccurate, and therefore blacks
will have less o f a voice in government, and
will receive fewer public services and pro­
grams. An accurate count will lead to more
appropriate allocations and reduce tensions
between disadvantaged groups vying for

the same limited funds.
The AJCongress advocates a multi-fac­
eted approach towards achieving a more accu­
rate count. The plan includes endorsement of
the Federal Decennial Census Improvement
Act which would require the Census Bureau to
select the most appropriate method to correct
undercounting.
It also involves aggressive locally-based
outreach programs to educate people to the im­
portance of the census and the effect it could
have on them personally. Through its regional
offices, AJCongress is bringing together civic
and ethnic leadership in an effort to encourage
participation in the 1990 Census.
Dr. Hochbaum believes the “ AJCongress’
efforts will help to rectify the problem of
minority undercount and help improve inter­
group relations, as well as have an impact on
the distribution of political power and public
funds into the next century.”
He expressed his belief that the American
public must be made aware of the importance
of participating in next spring's Census so that
appropriate steps can be taken “ to overcome
the undercount. ”
The American Jewish Congress was founded
in 1918 as a democratic membership organiza­
tion dedicated to the creative survival of the
Jewish people. Its mission is to enlist Ameri­
can Jews in the struggle to safeguard and
enlarge democratic pluralism and constitu­
tional protection for all Americans. Toward
this end, AJCongress engages in political ad­
vocacy in local, national and international forums.

Using a 210mm lens, with Tri-X film,
photographer Del Niemi has recorded China
and her people from a distance that results
in a voyeuristic point of view. Using his
varied background, (from parasitologist to
aircraft mechanic) Niemi tries to show the
common threads of humanity that all people
share, while still retaining the individuality
of his subjects, Niemi summarizes “ I merely
attempted to understand China through the
lens of a cam era.”
