W. E. B. Du Bois's Data Portraits: A Conversation with Whitney Battle-Baptiste and Britt Rusert

In W. E. B. Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America (Princeton Architectural Press, 2018), editors Whitney Battle-Baptiste and Britt Rusert brought together the first complete publication of Du Bois’s groundbreaking charts, graphs, and maps presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition. A selection of Du Bois’ pioneering data visualizations are currently on display at Cooper Hewitt in the exhibition Deconstructing Power: W. E. B. Du Bois at the 1900 World’s Fair.
Tune into a conversation with the editors as they discuss these data portraits through the lens of Du Bois’s life, work, and scholarship.

Thanks for posting this! I had to leave early to help get dinner ready, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I did get to hear, and I can't wait to finish it while I wait for the book to arrive!
