In this poster, we revisit visualizations made in 1900 by sociologist and civil rights activist, W.E.B. Du Bois to help us view the modern state of race in America through a historical abolitionist lens. The juxtaposition of stylistically similar charts made over 100 years apart reveals that while America has made progress toward racial justice in some areas, there is still work to be done. We call upon the visualization community to highlight the experiences of marginalized people and to take part in visualizing data related to the pervasiveness of racism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revisiting Du Bois\u2019 Abolitionist Visualizations Led by: Andrew Cunningham, Alyx Burns, and Narges Mahyar Looking to the Past to Visualize the Present: Revisiting W.E.B.
