This chart shows the proportion of Blacks in total population of the US is compared from 1800 (one-fifth, 20%) to 1890 (one-eighth, 12.5%) The sizes are shown as superimposed maps: a land within another land.

This chart of small multiples, compares the population of Blacks in America with various countries (Spain, Australia, Norway/Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Hungary, Bavaria, and England).

Yet another way to the distribution of Black people in America, this chart uses number of people per square mile, ranging from 15-15 in southern states like Georgia and Mississippi, to less than 1 person/square mile in the west and upper mid-west.

Serving as the introductory display, this chart shows the full Du Bois color palette. The chart includes bi-lingual text, a map of the Black population in the US, and a familiar pie chart showing professions in the population.

Land ownership was an indicator of economic and social development, as depicted in this choropleth of the state of Georgia shows.

The migration to and from Georgia to other the states of the US is shown in this visual. The map shows how the state with a large Black population originated, and where they were dispersed to.

"Negro Population of Georgia by County", is a choropleth map with a alternating left-right pattern, comparing the population of Black Georgians in the years 1870 and 1890. Note the decrease of lightly populated areas, with the heavily populated areas in red shifting west.

This chart shows the Black population in the Georgia counties ranges from over 30,000 in the south east to under 1000 in the north and southern portions of the state. The most prevalent category is in the 5-10,000 Black people distributed throughout the state.

This map of the US shows the distribution of Black people at the turn of the twentieth century. Ranging from 75,000 and over in Georgia to less than 10,000 in the western states.

"The Georgia Negro, A Social Study" shows the transatlantic slave trade, with routes from Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean, highlighting Georgia. This visual contains Du Bois' famous assertion: "The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line"

When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. --Martin Luther King, "Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence" #MLK
