The Nation -- The Constitution mandates that Americans be counted.

But that doesn't guarantee that every American has always counted equally -- or, for that matter, been counted for who they are.

That's something to remember on this National Census Day (April 1), when the decennial process moves into full gear. This is a moment at which to fill out the form and to ponder what is missing from it.
