If you live in Dallas, D.C., New Orleans, Orlando or New York, you might get a little southern hospitality nudging you to fill out your 2010 census form.
Atlanta-based rapper Ludacris has signed up with the U.S. Census Bureau to encourage people to fill out this year’s forms to ensure the 2010 population count (especially the African-American numbers) is as close to accurate as possible.
“I look at our communities now and I see many empty lots, closed clinics, dilapidated schools and an overall breakdown of social services for the poor and elderly,” Luda says. “Today is a day for change.”
Now if only our local artists could actually participate in stuff like this...would have made a whole lotta difference..
