A note from the editor: Conceptualizing equity while experiencing life as a person of privilege presents challenges. Unless we gain awareness of these privileges, they remain assumed or invisible. This translates to the data world as well. It is possible to gain awareness, and to further share that awareness with data. The journey is worth it for all of us. The focus of this issue of DataPoint is data equity, as a celebration in the United States of Black/African-American History Month in February and Women’s History Month in March.

Monroe Nathan Work
In the February issue of Nightingale, the Journal of the Data Visualization Society, the great race statistician Monroe Nathan Work helps us discover historical data about Black/African-American Hoosiers using his famous Negro Year Book, published at Tuskegee University from 1912 to 1952 (with the exception of 1920/21, 1923/24, 1927/28-1929/30). With contemporaries such as Dr. Kelly Miller, Richard Wright, and W.E.B. DuBois, Work stood out because of his talents in mathematics and intensive study of the Black/African-American experience in the United States. He trained at the University of Chicago in sociology. During his 30 year tenure as Director of Department of Records and Research at the Tuskegee Institute, he compiled the extensive Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America (1928), one key resource for Black/African-American History in the U.S.
