## Summary

"Black Space and the Environment" is a dynamic 3D data visualization project
inspired by W.E.B DuBois's 1900 exhibit "The American Negro". Focusing on
Pennsylvania, the project uses color and spatial analysis to reveal the impact
of environmental conditions on the state's Black population. The visualization
draws on data from the American Lung Association's State of the Air 2022
report and the U.S. Census Bureau to highlight correlations between disease
rates and Black population density. This project aims to analyze the
differential impacts of certain conditions on Black Americans and invites
viewers to consider ways to combat these disproportionate outcomes.

The interactive visualization can be found at [arjunphull123.github.io/black-
space](https://arjunphull123.github.io/black-space/).
