The Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is producing media promoting the 1950s U.S. Census. They have requested person-on-the-street promos to get people thinking about who will be included in the 1950 census and what questions it may be able to answer. On Friday, October 15th, the Family History Department will conduct brief interviews with people answering questions about the census and their hopes for the information it may reveal.
The Family History Department wish to specifically invite members of the Church to come and share their thoughts. The interview staff-on-hand are English-speakers. If those interested would feel more comfortable answering these questions in their native language, their contributions are still welcome and they are encouraged to come.
WHERE: Times Square on the corner of 46th and 7th Street/Ave
