Abstract
The bulk of the growth of supermassive black holes over cosmic time takes place behind heavy obscuration. I will present observational evidence that much, or even most, of these AGN are very heavily obscured (Compton-thick) and thus hidden from many previous multiwavelength surveys. I will discuss the implications for cosmic black hole growth and the populations of AGN now detected in the early Universe with JWST .
