A map of the global Black Lives Matter movement
Blog post from Mapbox
The "Mapping the Black Lives Matter Movement" project, spearheaded by Frank Romo and Malcolm MacLachlan of RomoGIS, aims to document the widespread protests calling for justice for Black lives by utilizing geospatial technologies to highlight social justice issues. The initiative involves creating an interactive map to visualize and capture the scale and diversity of the protests, collecting data from reputable sources and local news to ensure comprehensive coverage, even in smaller cities often overlooked by national media. The map allows users to contribute by adding protest locations, news sources, and images, turning it into a dynamic repository that reflects the global scale of the movement and fosters discussions about race and activism. Built with Mapbox tools for efficient mobile access, the project seeks to inspire continued activism and invites further collaboration from data scientists and social justice activists to support and empower local communities.
