In September 2017, Consortium on Race, Gender, and Equity held a symposium at the University of Maryland College Park titled the State of Hispanic Race and Ethnicity: Census 2020 Changes and Implications for Addressing Social Inequality.

The event convened a distinguished group of thought leaders, scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers whose collective expertise contributed to the national conversation on implications of proposed 2020 Census changes to the race/ethnicity question.

Over one hundred people attended and engaged in this intellectual and politically challenging conversation. Visit the CRGE website to view a recording of the sessions.
