Gis Mapping And Virtual Exhibition : Analysis of African American History , Localization and Digital Media

T he idea behind my GIS mapping is to pinpoint and localize the many Black history and relic items in which occupies these spaces. In addition to the way we look at Blackness in the 21st century lens and the proactive digitizing of this history and looking at the relevance of this past history to now. By looking at mapping and pinpointed areas of where current or existing Black residential have existed. Mapping and pinpointing historical sighting places of Black people you can see a geological relevance and or mapping of historical places, by doing this you reduce the hyper visibility and invisibility of Black history and the Black people.  You can use the gis mapping points in this story to not only look at complexities of unknown history but also the geolocation mapping of identifying the unspoken and unknown to others.

Virtual Exhibition : Localization Of Blackness

Hello Everyone ! , The goal of the Localization Of  Blackness virtual exhibition is for users to explore the localization of Blackness and the history of African American that lies in the physical realm and the ever changing digital aspects of online preservation. In addition to this exhibit we also see the localization of how history is displayed through different uses of media, pictures, works, books and films. In believing that all history is American history, I use the exhibition to explore the ideas and the culture that exist within African American history by displaying historical pictures and figures that have contributed to this history. Not only does preserving African American history gives context to understanding the past but also a framework of how we should look at history in the present and what to do for the future. Hence the title of the topic we are able to see how people of African and other diaspora are scattered but better find localization within their communities
