Present forces in Negro progress
Present Forces in Negro Progress is a 1912 study by Willis D. Weatherford, published in New York and London by the Association Press for a general readership on African American life. Its pictures are plain county maps of Florida, Arkansas, and North Carolina, printed in black and white with hatched shading, numbered districts, and key text blocks, showing county-level Black population share and movement; a designer might take their grid of shaded regions and small numerals as a model for data-driven layout.
