0:00.0	Hello, Tenors. What happened with the 2020 census? Do elephants get lonely? And what does sibling rivalry look like between pro athletes? I'm Bethany Van Delft and we'll get into all this and more on today's The Ten News. The show where in the time it takes to beat your brother in a game of floor is lava, we find out what's up in the world.
0:25.6	Okay, let's get into the 10 News.
0:28.6	10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
0:33.6	This week, many families are celebrating Kwanza, a seven-day non-religious holiday that honors African-American culture and heritage.
0:45.0	Did you know that Kwanza was first created in 1966 by a professor of Pan-African Studies who wanted it to be a celebration of family, community, and social
0:55.3	values. To all of you who celebrate, happy Kwanza. In an earlier episode of the 10 News,
1:03.8	we learned about the U.S. Census, the once every 10 years event where every single person
1:09.5	living in the U.S. and its territories is counted.
1:12.9	Recently, the Supreme Court decided to postpone making a decision about whether undocumented

1:33.6	We'll have to wait and see where this decision goes, but in the meantime, let's revisit our previous story from correspondent Pamela Kirkland, all about the 2020 census.
1:44.5	It happens once every 10 years, and it's old, like really, really old.
1:51.4	But it's also something very important that every person living in the United States is
1:57.3	encouraged to participate in.
1:59.4	What am I talking about?
2:05.2	It's the census. But what is it? And why should you care if you're counted? We asked Alex and her mom, Yasmin Naboa, who know an awful lot about it,
2:12.6	to make sense of the census. Hi, I'm Alex. I am a student and I'm 12 years old.
2:21.0	Hi, my name is Yasmin and I am Alex's mom.
2:25.5	And I became interested in the 2020 census via some work that I was doing at Count the Nation,
2:39.7	which is associated with the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab.
2:43.1	What exactly is the census for people who don't know?
