Plotting and Thotting

Plotting & Thotting celebrates Juneteenth with a special forum dedicated to the plots presented by W.E.B. Du Bois at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris.

"Black Lives: W.E.B. Du Bois at the Paris Exposition 1900" is a book that contains photographs and plots Du Bois compiled to share the sociological story of African Americans thirty years after the Civil War/Reconstruction to attendees of the world's fair. We'll discuss the plots and photographs inside and how they convey the story that Du Bois intended.

Thanks to those who share their work on GitHub, we are able to access datasets and R scripts that help us recreate the work of Du Bois' team, including the featured plot "Conjugal condition of American Negroes according to age periods".
