Submissions from our 2022 Black History Month Activity, Winners of our 2021 Black History DataViz Contest, and other notebooks exploring Black history.

Here at Observable, we believe in shedding light on diverse stories through data and beyond. We believe it is important to acknowledge the lived and shared experiences of all Black people because their struggles and achievements have greatly impacted each and every one of us.
