Students will learn about the history of the U.S. Virgin Islands and its inhabitants through the use of census data. They will compare data on the people and their culture in the U.S. Virgin Islands from the late 20th century to the present, noting similarities and differences in the island populations between the different time periods. Students will also learn the history of how the islands became so diverse and the social and economic impact of that diversity. Based on changes in the census results, students will draw conclusions about changes in the U.S. Virgin Islands since the census began on the islands.
