Spoken word artists will compete in a poetry slam tonight at Night Life Comedy Club and Lounge at 5504 Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard for a $100 prize.
What's interesting about this event is the topic, the 2010 Census. The census has been controversial this year for several reasons, including doubts about its accuracy, efforts to reach undercounted groups and notably, the inclusion of "Negro" as a race category.
