Mapping the Great Migration: Visualizing the Journey of Black Americans In-Person
In this workshop, participants will explore the historical significance of the Great Migration by creating maps that visualize the movement of Black Americans from the South to urban centers in the North and West. Using historical data, census records, and migration patterns, attendees will learn how to map key aspects of this transformative period in U.S. history.
Workshop Goals:
Use GIS to analyze migration patterns and demographic shifts during the Great Migration.
Gain hands-on experience creating interactive maps with GIS.
