@equalisource.bsky.socialUntil the 1930 census, the U.S. government lumped #Latvians in with #Lithuanians and #Russians. Ten years later, the census counted 34,656 people of #Latvian origin, about 54 % of them foreign-born.
@equalisource.bsky.socialBy 1911—more than 20 years after the first #Latvian immigrants had arrived in the United States—only two individuals had obtained American university degrees, the first one being a woman, Anna Enke, who studied at the University of Chicago.
