Gannett Vs. Dubois Visualizations
Henry Gannet and W. E. B DuBois were two very important historians in the eighteen and nineteen hundreds. Their intricate visualizations allow for viewers to get a feel for what was going on in the context of that historical situation. Their studies of interest were similar and we found that there were visualizations they had created that may be interesting for students to compare. Some of the topics of concern below include the distribution of African Americans throughout the eighteen and nineteen hundreds.
These slides contain graphs comparing population increases among Blacks and whites in the United States. DuBois offers a national and global context for population changes in his graph that may be interesting for students to consider.
These slides contain maps showing the distribution of African Americans in the United States. It is interesting to compare their different uses of color in the maps.
The data visualizations on these slides show the proportion of the African American population to the total population within the United States. DuBois' use of scale and color may be worthwhile for student to consider.
