For today’s class, I read “Lynching, Visualization, and Visibility”. Regardless of any reasoning behind the people who executed lynchings, it is obviously an inexcusable, terrible part of history. Nonetheless, data can be effective in analyzing it for a few reasons. Finding details and patterns behind how it all happened and being able to look at it in different ways with different visualizations, such as the ones shown in this article can give people better perspective about the seriousness of the topic and provide more knowledge about ways things such as this can be prevented. The visualizations presented in this article definitely show aspects of lynching that many are not aware of. “KL” also posted about this article and she used the phrase “thoroughly illustrate the past” about the visualizations shown about lynching. I thought this was a great way of putting it and expressing how the data visualizations about history can be effective.
