About the Author

The W.E.B. Du Bois Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst serves as a vital hub for preserving and promoting the groundbreaking legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, one of America's most influential scholars, activists, and intellectuals. Established to honor Du Bois's pioneering work in sociology, civil rights, and data visualization, the Center curates archives, hosts exhibitions, and fosters research that illuminates the African American experience. Through initiatives like 'W. E. B. Du Bois's Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America,' the Center brings to light Du Bois's innovative use of charts, graphs, and infographics from the 1900 Paris Exposition, revealing profound insights into Black life and challenging prevailing narratives of inequality. By bridging historical scholarship with contemporary discussions on race, justice, and visual storytelling, the Center continues Du Bois's mission of intellectual activism and social transformation.
