The US Census Bureau has recently updated these two sites. National Population estimates have been updated through 1997 for age group, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Updated estimates for detailed population variables are also available.
Data series can be monthly, quarterly, or annual.
The Bureau also provides a US Hispanic population page that has recently updated relevant tables from the Current Population Surveys for 1995 and 1996. Tables on several variables, including ethnic origin, educational attainment, and origin by place of birth are available. Other relevant estimates and projections, statistical briefs, and information on the upcoming Census 2000 may also be obtained. Gale Research, publisher of many library reference resources, provides this site in celebration of Black History Month, as well as to increase awareness of the 22 related reference resources it supplies. The focal point of the site is the biography section, featuring thumbnail sketches of 60 prominent African-American men and women derived from the African American Almanac.
