I Black Religious Leaders Support Census Project A group of 25 leaders of' predominantly black religious and fraternal organizations have agreed to work toward a partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau to encourage their members’ participation in the 1990 Census. “The congress of National Black Churches has pledged support and cooperation to this project,’’ said, Bishop John Hurst Adams, congress chairman. “So many things that af fect the black community depend an the census—economic and political power, in particular—that we must work together for the fullest and moat accurate count in the 1990 census.” Census officials outlined the scope and importance of the 1990 Census to the black community at a recent one day meeting with the religious and fraternity leaders. Another meeting is planned for later this year. Calling the black churches and' fraternal orders “the key com municators throughout the nation" -, with the black community, Census. Bureau Director John G. Keane said! he welcomed the opportunity to in-! volve them in efforts to improve the - census count of minority populations' in 1990. • Blacks and other minorities, haye been undercounted in previous cen suses when compared to the overall population. One of the Census Bureau’s primary goals for the 1990! Census is to reduce this “differential undercount” as much as possible, fc While other Census Bureau officials presented a briefing on plans far1 reaching black communities, the; church and fraternal leaders made numerous suggestions. They included putting more emphasis on how census ■ statistics benefit minority popula tions and emphasizing the fact that1 census information about individuals is not shared with other government agencies, institutions, or organize-, lions. Bishop C.D. Coleman of the Chris tian Methodist Episcopal Church said, the Census Bureau needed to correct the lack of understanding of the im portance of the census and to allay a fear of the census that is part of Biblical history. “We need a simple statement that the census is not used for purposes that would hurt members of the black community,” Bishop Coleman said. Keane said the Census Bureau' would prepare these materials.
