#DuBoisChallenge2026 - took @datavisfriendly.bsky.social's advice and did two recreations of Du Bois' plate showing land ownership by Black Georgians. An original, and one showing the general increase in percentage of land ownership in certain areas Code in #rstats: github.com/drjohnrussel...

When I saw in this year's #DuboisChallenge my nemesis from 2024, the double hemispheres map, I needed to try again! Then, I made a Mercator map with python 😓 and used a frame on Canva 👇🏿This year, I succeeded by implementing the Mollweide Interrupted projection with d3.js 🥳🌎🌍 #DuboisChallenge2026

#DuBoisChallenge2026 - Week 5. Recreating Du Bois' map of the emigration and immigration of Black Georgians during years of Reconstruction requires using 'sf' in #rstats to make lines from the centroids of Georgia to each state, masked by the state's outline. Code: github.com/drjohnrussel...

I really love Du Bois' work and the #DuBoisChallenge2026. But I wonder why people seem to feel compelled to reproduce Du Bois' idiosyncratic (and frankly, #dataviz-awful) color palettes.

#DuBoisChallenge2026 Week 3 - just a nice little population map, done in #rstats Code: github.com/drjohnrussel...

I ended up recreating Dubois' plate 01 in Observable with d3.js (Canvas API) observablehq.com/@eleonore9/w... #DuboisChallenge2026 #dataviz #sciart

I recreated Dubois' plate 02 with D3.js in an Observable notebook 🗺️ Starting to enjoy the Canvas API, look, I learned to make patterns ☺️ #duboischallenge2026 #dataviz #sciart

#DuboisChallenge2026, week 7: 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.

#DuboisChallenge2026, week 6: Land Owned by Negroes in Georgia, USA, 1870-1900. This choropleth map tracks the acres of land owned by Black people in Georgia, over thirty years, by county. The acreage ranges from 44,601 in Liberty County, to 130 acres in Fannin county.

For #DuboisChallenge2026: 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.

#DuboisChallenge week4: "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.

#DuboisChallenge2026, Week 3: 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.

For week 2 of #DuboisChallenge2026: 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.

Welcome to #DuboisChallenge2026 where the #dataviz community is encouraged to re-create visuals from the Paris Expo of 1900. This years theme is "Maps". This thread will introduce each image (see: github.com/ajstarks/dub...)

The #DuboisChallenge2026 will kick off on February 9. Here is a peek at the visuals for this year, the theme is Maps:
