The data of Black History
Phrases like “data visualization” and “data driven insights” are ubiquitous in the modern context, so much so that the history of these techniques is not often well documented. As part of the library’s celebration of Black History Month, we want to highlight the visionary data portraits created by W.E.B. Du Bois for exhibition at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris, France.

Research Desk Closure
