Black beyond data

One of Jessica Marie Johnson’s passions as a historian is to tell the stories of Black people—particularly Black women—in the Atlantic African diaspora during the centuries of slavery. She highlights the relationships, warmth, and intimacy they created despite the harshest of circumstances, as well as the ways in which they wielded intelligence, creativity, and interpersonal skills to strive for freedom. Johnson leads several teams tapping into the power of datasets to uncover new truths about Black history and to discover the lives of Black people who would otherwise be lost to time.
