Data Orchard @dataorchard.org.uk · Oct 30 During Black History Month we're celebrating some incredible Black Icons in Data. We've written about seven icons who are both outstanding data professionals AND remarkable role models. And we've been spotlighting each of them this month. Our final icon is W.E.B Du Bois.

Whilst our other icons are alive today, we can’t celebrate icons in data without mentioning Du Bois, the father of data visualisation. An American sociologist, historian, author and activist, he was perhaps the most important Black protest leader of the early 20th Century.
