DESCRIPTION:Deep X-ray surveys with Chandra and XMM-Newton have revolution
 ised our view of the growth of distant black holes by revealing Active Gal
 actic Nuclei (AGN) out to high redshifts\; the deepest X-ray surveys are s
 ensitive to the identification of typical AGN out to z~4\, almost irrespec
 tive of the presence of heavy obscuration. I will review our current under
 standing of the growth of distant black holes from the deepest Chandra sur
 veys\, including recent results from the 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field South obs
 ervations. I will also discuss our searches for the most heavily obscured 
 AGNs\, explore the connections between star formation and AGN activity\, i
 nvesigate the role of environment in the growth of black holes\, and look 
 towards how new facilites will improve our understanding of the growth of 
 distant black holes.
