Black History Month 2021: GIS Community Addresses “Who Maps the Black Family?”
0
Organizations from around the globe connect to open a month-long event series and conversation about Black History, geography, GIS, and racial equity.
Join us as we reflect on the Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity, and explore the challenges and opportunities of getting and holding seats at the table as we address the question: Who Maps the Black Family?
A Team Effort
This series was produced in collaboration with African Women in GIS (AWiGIS), Asian, Desi, and Pacific Islander, Black Girls MAPP, Claro, LGBTQIA, Vamos + Unity & Power of HERE Technologies, and Voice Media Ventures (the folks that brought us Mapping Black California)
