Amid the national reckoning on racism, the memorial to the first Black regiment of the Union Army, the Civil War unit popularized in the movie "Glory, is facing scrutiny. White commander out front; Black soldiers in the background. It’s the first thing you see.”Amid the national reckoning on racism, the Shaw memorial is the latest and, perhaps, one of the more curious to receive scrutiny.

Demographers estimate that 4.6% percent of children under 5, or 1 million children, weren't counted in the 2010 census. I think that’s really, really good because certainly the children are the future," said Stephen Buckner, a senior executive at the U.S. Census Bureau.
