Faceted maps with ggplot2

One of the most powerful features of ggplot2 is its support for faceted plotting, in which multiple plots are generated for unique values of a column in the data. Faceted maps can be produced with geom_sf() in this way as well if tidycensus data are in tidy format. In this exercise, you'll produce faceted maps that show the racial and ethnic geography of Washington, DC from the 2010 decennial Census.
